Question
I have recently purchased a huge ebonized bracket clock. It measures 17in wide, 10in deep, and 32in high. That is correct!!!!. I can find nothing anywhere on a clock this size. It has a square 9in heavily beveled thick glass door with two hinges. There are two winding posts in a thick solid brass face with romans numerals. This is secured by screws to a very thick plate bearing 3 studs to which the movement attaches by pins. There are no ID marks of any kind except the # 433 on one of the thick brass movement plates. Iam told it is a fusee movement and I need a pendulum with hole in pend. rod arm. This clock looks to belong in Biltmore House as it is so beautiful and big. Please help me ID this clock and request info and picture to make sure it is complete. Please respond and help me . Another clock  lover!!  Craig
