Description
has 80 flutes, all original, some needing minor repairs. Time and strike 8-day movement has had the chain replaced and it could use a better fit chain. Has a very large weight to drive the wooden pin-drum organ. The bellows and drive mechanism try to operate, but have not been serviced in many years. The base or plinth [bottom 20 inches] has had restoration. The top painted scene [on original zinc] is very exciting with lots of cannon and smoke. Height 96 inches
