Hemins Bicester with single hand; fronting a weight-driven verge movement striking the hours on the bell. 41cm high, 8in diameter The clock is complete with original verge; the lifting arm is broken but present, so it isn't striking; the going train is working, but the movement is dirty and will require a service; there is pitting in the chapter ring, and the bell straps have been repaired. Comes with weights. The spikes off the backplate are present but detached.
