Thank you for requesting a condition report. The clock case and movement are original and not married or associated. The weight-driven movement operates on a continuous chain. Both clock weight and pendulum are present and there are no visible losses to the movement. With this being said, the movement appears dusty with some iron oxidation and will require cleaning and service. The case appears with age cracks on the lower tail.
The clock appears with its hood, but its ornamental finials are absent. The clock carries a single weight and weight chain. There is one chain weight. The pendulum is present.
