More Information

Braces added to the backboard which is possibly later, further minor evidence of restoration to the case.
Movement and board appear to be later, please see additional images.
Hands also appear to be later, indicating the clock has undergone a degree of restoration.
Clock movement is un-tested although looks to be well maintained.
