9.29.22- LOT – 1449: As described, this clock is lacking a suspension spring for the pendulum and one weight (only two weights are present), operational status unknown, I also note a split to green painted area under crest, some loss to carved elements at door and finial, the dial is possibly later, There are two very small dials, one on each side of the moon in the corners. Can you tell me what they are for? like (chime/silent), (fast/slow) – Likely chime/silent, fast/slow, but they are in another language (probably Dutch) and therefore we do not know for sure. The exact number of tunes played is unknown as clock is not currently operational, there are 13 nested bells, the moon dial and two small subdials move manually
