Description: Up for auction is a Rare, LARGE and Wonderful 9 Tube/Tubular Grandfather/Hall Clock. The identical clock (missing top finial), different mechanism, sold at auction few years back for $32,500 + 21% buyer's fee. Circa-1880 The clock's dimensions are approximately; H- 107", W- 30" & D- 20". The Case: The mahogany case is in excellent physical condition. The original finish is extremely clean and looks fantastic for a clock that is almost 125-130 years old. There are a couple of small pieces of molding missing. I did not notice it until I got the clock home. I consider this minor but something you should know about. The Dial/Face: The dial is in fine physical condition and has a wonderful patina. The lunar calendar is beautifully painted with no chips or missing paint that I can see. The hour, minute and second hand are original and fit tightly to the arbors. The dial has Bawo and Dotter on it. The Mechanism: The 8 day weight driven 1/4 hour chiming mechanism has been running flawlessly. I believe the mechanism is made by a German manufacturer. It has a strong ticking sound and keeps very accurate time. The clock chimes, Westminster, and 8 Bells chimes beautifully. The sound of the 1/4 hour chime and hourly strike are wonderful. The sound resonates for a nice long time. The Pendulum: The pendulum is complete and looks great. The Weights: The 3 brass weights are original and have a wonderful patina and look fantastic. I can not see any dents, breaks, chips, etc... The Tubes: The tubes are original, are in excellent physical condition, and have a great patina. The Glass: The glass is original and look great. Antique collectors and/or clock enthusiasts will love this original condition clock that is in great working order. This clock is extremely clean and looks much better in person than the photos.

All sales are final.I will accept payment plans of up to 12 months. Please inquire. Thank You
