Condition report
With its pendulum, there is no winding key. The clock is in good condition. As noted above the glass is loose. The dial silvering is not worn or marked. The movement is dusty and will require a service. The back box with its drop is associated to the dial and surround. There are some filled holes to each side of the case which correspond with a replacement seatboard support on each side.
