CONDITION REPORT

The clock is working and strikes and repeats correctly.  At some point two small steel-threaded bolts  (each with a curved neck) have been added, each holding one of the two lower pillars through the seatboard to a brass nut on the underside of the case.  The hour bell is cracked.
