CONDITION REPORT
With lead weight and brass bob pendulum with steel rod and an associated oak bracket. The clock is dusty and the framework tarnished. The dial appears to have been lacquered at some point many years ago and now has streaked. The alarm disc is perhaps the original ? But now fixed. There are no doors. Please note it was formerly verge and later converted. The anchor wheel is large and of a type stylistically used towards the end of the 17th century. Vacant screw holes in the top plate. The alarm work is missing. This would have been mounted on a metal plate at the back. The pivot hole for the alarm detent is in the top right hand corner of the dial.
