The thermometers' glass and mercury capillary tubes have been detached for transport, but the glass is intact and they appear to be functional. The bronze with slightly dirty / dusty patina, uneven in some areas. The clock winds and strikes when the hands are advanced manually, but has not been tested for timekeeping. The clock strikes and sounds poorly on its bell - needs adjustment. There is no pendulum or key. Attractive and ready to hang condition overall. Additional photos 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.
