Provenance:

John Noot, Worcestershire, October 10, 1983

Case is sturdy and attractive with some sun-fading to the front and some scattered age splits and spots of fill. The frieze and crest on the top of the hood are not original to the clock. All parts are present. The cord that winds the right chamber has snapped, and the hook from which the weight hangs is detached. There is a key for the case, and the lock is functional. The clock strikes on the hour when the hands are manually advanced. Both chambers take a wind. Has not been examined by an horologist. Additional images available upon request.
