Description
This movement is of the highest quality, with high tooth count, dust covers on the sides and arched top, plus a mercury pendulum. The wheels have 6 spokes, except the great wheel which has 7 spokes. Hands, dial, weight & pulley are all original. We have shown the clock with mercury in the pendulum, but are not allowed to have an open container of mercury in the auction hall, so the pendulum will be stored in Salem. Sometime after the clock was completed, a safety strap was added to the top of the pendulum, to support the rod if the suspension spring should break. A precision timekeeper that is sure to appeal to someone wanting a very special clock. Height 75.5 inches
