CONDITION REPORT
The clock appears to be in a good restored condition.  The decoration has been refreshed.  The clock movement recently cleaned and ticking.  The one in passing strike works well on one bell, the other needs some adjustment.  There are some vacant holes on the back plate and this might possibly indicate some strike work has been removed as one usually expects to see this on these clocks.
