Description
ticking but not "striking". This is a patinated spelter clock with automated right arm. The case is complete, and with only a couple of items to mention: someone tightened the dial bezel a bit too much near the 3 and broke out a chip in the orange porcelain dial. The spelter base has weakened and has cracks visible from the underside. The clock is designed to release the right arm when the alarm time is reached, however the internal spring for his arm has failed, and the arm is only hanging freely. Latch is intact and it looks restorable. Height 10 inches
