Description
long running (?), 1-weight, center seconds, with restorations. Although it appears that the bottom of the clocks has been added later, and to odd proportions, the top bezel and movement are all original. The movement itself is about the nicest banjo movement we have ever seen, with 5 spoke wheel work, Graham dead beat escape, maintaining power, AND center seconds (no hand present, needs a male stud on seconds hand). The movement is really built to regulator standards, even heavier than Howard or Bingham work. Note the great wheel is 5 inches in diameter; it extends clear below the seat board. Dial pan is from a school clock, hands from French baker's clock. Properly restored this would make an imposing clock, and our estimate reflects the value of the movement and case parts. Height 52 inches
