Clock appears to be in overall decent, stable condition. Exterior of case retaining much of the painted finish but having moderate surface wear consistent with age and handling. Case with several tight age splits to wood. Trunk and dial door likely once had glass, not currently present. Clock face and pendulum with bright even finish. Flange to top of pendulum lacking, currently hung by a piece of wire. Enamel to dial in decent condition but with chips near wind holes, a few tight hairline cracks and some scratches. Works appear mostly complete/intact with two mismatched weights , no crank. Clock does strike on the hour and the half but doesn't appear to run. Additional images available upon request.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
