Condition Report

This type of movement was used on early longcase and late period lantern clocks as well as hooded wall clocks. The case is therefore possibly associated and shows signs of

alteration. Cracks to pediment (which is removable), loss to glazing of front, general cracks/fading to carcase, overall case requires complete overhaul. Movement coverted as per cataloguing but otherwise sound.

Fellows do not guarantee the working order or accuracy of any clocks sold.
