Description

the original dome was broken and two chunks glued into the back. Both the pull-wind alarm mechanism and the alarm set mechanism have been recently re-strung, and are operating. The clock ticks well and other than the repaired dome is in overall very good original condition. Detailed information on this model can be found in Royer-Collard's book titled "Skeleton Clocks" and in Roberts' book titled "Continental and American Skeleton Clocks"
