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 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 guarantee the clock’s operation once shipped. However, I do take pride as a seller of my clocks & offer setup assistance via emails.
All shipments will be CAREFULLY & PERSOANLLY WRAPPED in bubble wrap (key & pendulum wrapped separately) set tightly into box containing foam peanuts, tapped shut & then placed into second box filled with padding for added protection, taped shut on all sides.
