1/19/23 2:35pm - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 180: As described, the clock is lacking its’ suspension spring and is thus not currently operational; however, I note the chime works and both winding springs are good. I observe some bending and loss to swags, small fleabite chips/ roughness to marble edges throughout, clock face with some fading to letters, patination and verdigris patination to metal elements, the clock may be lacking a finial to the center of the flower at base, and one garniture is lacking its small gilt metal flower at its’ base.
