Condition
6/1/23 3:00pm - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 1440: As described, this clock is lacking its pendulum. I also note some patination and rubs to the metal surface, small holes to the top right of the figures back, all marble is intact with the medial base having a slight hairline at side, the glazed viewing panels are intact with no apparent chips or cracks. Regarding operational status: without the pendulum, we are unable to assess the clock’s operational status at this time, I do note that the clock arrived with the hammer bent out (to essentially silence the clock), therefore, the chime is not currently working when manually turning the minute hand, but this could be potentially straightened out by a professional.
