CR 1.12.26-As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock is not currently operational, it is accompanied by a pendulum and key, and the bell and striker are present, as mentioned, the suspension spring is broken, while the clock winds with relative ease, the movement does not appear to respond to winding, as with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning of the movement
