are extra holes in the
back board telling me it may have been repositioned or replaced at some
time. However, it is the correct back board. For the price, you can't beat this.

"Queen Anne", ca 1883. The 36"
wood case has an ebony finish,
case is complete and original, and
the ebony finish is exceptional.
Most of the ST ebony cases had
cherry wood as the base, then
ebonized. We see a great many
cases where the black has been
removed, because cherry clocks
are worth considerably more these
days than ebony clocks. Look
close and you can always find
some black. Nice label inside and a
very good damascened pendulum
bob. Excellent original paint on the
dial, correct hands, brass ring, and
brass gong base. There are no extra
holes around the dial or movement.
