Description: Below is the original description of the clock. The clock’s face was expertly restored a few years ago because the numbers on the dial were no longer legible, as seen in the photos. The clock will probably need a cleaning and adjustment but it worked perfectly when it was displayed in our living room for many years. It had an appraisal value of $7000 approximately 10 years ago but none recently.
