Description
The 30-hour pendulette movement retains an original bezel, dial paper and hands. The movement retains the little holder that would rock back and forth at the top and would have had a flag or a figure. The original painted wooden base has some paint loss. The china base has a hairline crack in the column. The column and base are broken and reglued, but well done. The gilt decoration is pretty much intact with some minor wear. The dome fits the base, but is not original. Despite the repairs, the gilt pattern on the stand is still there, and this is usually worn off. Decent example of this early clock by Union Labor Company, Southington, Conn (Samuel M. Botsford). Height 8.5 inches
