Very good original fully operational working condition. Winds, runs and chimes. This clock had not been moved in 50 years and thus all the tube hangers required replacement, otherwise all original and untouched. A strong running clock, once in our facility it was placed on a flat dolly for safe moving to and from photography. After being rolled out of photography this clock was sent to storage where it ran for days while standing on a four wheeled moving dolly. Unfortunately, in the event of moving and shipping, we cannot guarantee the running condition of timepieces post sale following movement and shipping.
