I am NOT
a retailer. I am an antique clock collector
wishing to reduce my clock collection. This
clock comes from my collection & has been running successfully for numerous
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 the clock. Lastly, I cannot guarantee the clock’s
operation once shipped due to shipper’s mishandling. However, I do take pride as a seller of my fine clocks & make myself available to assist setup issues via email.
All
shipments will be CAREFULLY & PERSONALLY wrapped in layers of bubble wrap (key &
pendulum wrapped separately) set tightly into box containing foam peanuts,
tapped shut & then placed into second box (as may be necessary) filled with
padding for added protection, taped shut on all sides.
