Description
We have never seen this combination before. A standard 3-wt movement was factory engineered to swing 2 large articulated arms with 4 hammers each, and with the addition of helper springs behind the movement (factory installed), to assist with the additional work required. The large iron gong standard is also signed GB, and the walnut case with a heavy insert with 7 panes of heavily beveled glass. The only detraction on this clock is that some one has painted the dial plate with yellow paint, and the normally blued hands painted gold. The dial will require some creative refinishing. An oddity for the confident mechanic. Height 43"
