APPROXIMATE CLOCKDIMENSIONS: height 15 ½” x width 11 ½” x depth 6 ¾” I am an antique clock collector wishing to reduce my clock collection. I am NOT a retailer . This clock comes from my collection & has been running successfully for several years with no difficulties.  It has been tested prior to this offering.  Clock set-up to establish the correct “beat” is paramount to the clock’s operation, accomplished through placement & leveling (sometimes with rotating the movement while in the clock case). Additionally, temperature & humidity may affect it over time as well . Do not over wind a clock. Lastly, I cannot not guarantee the clock’s operation once shipped.  I do take pride as a seller and buyer of these clocks. All shipments will be wrapped in bubble wrap (key & pendulum wrapped separately ) set tightly into box containing Styrofoam peanuts, tapped shut & then placed into second box filled with padding for added protection, taped shut on all sides. Please ask any questions regarding this item; responses will be made as quickly as possible . No international shipping  & No refunds.
