I will respond to any inquiries you may have.This is a Howard Miller Thomas Tompion 612-436 Key- Wound mantel or shelf clock with a Cherry Bordeaux finish on selected hardwoods. It features a Carpathianelm burl facing on the clock glass door, hand painted gold trim on the case with glass sides and mirrored back that showcase the movement.This clock is in excellent condition and runs perfectly.This clock has been upgraded with a 2019 Hermle 1050-020 triple chime movement that plays your choice of Westminster, St. Michael or Whittington 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 chimes accordingly with full counting chimes on the hour with silent option. measures 18 1/4"in height, 14 3/4" in width and 8 1/4" in depthThe difference here from the others on Ebay is that this has been upgraded to a “2019” movement. The date code on the rear of the movement is “AF”. The date code “AF” = 2019 which means it’s only 3+ years old. Most others on Ebay are 1985-1991 with a few exceptions.Most movements if taken care of, have a life expectancy of 20 years before needing an overhaul.That being said, if you’re spending this kind of money you should think about the life left in a movementUnfortunately there are buyers whowill over-wind the movement, wind/turn the keys backward, fail to balance theclock, vigorously shake the clock, twist the innards and rods, improperly hangthe pendulum and break the suspension or just as bad move the clock around withthe pendulum attached. Then after it is all busted up, they want to return itand ask for their money back.This clock is being sold “AS IS”.Assume it will need and require repairs and service at some point in the future (Condition: Refurbished)
