LARGE OVAL STRUT CLOCK BY T COLE

As found.
case and movement both stamped with serial no 1452
9 inches high, 8 day, silver dial untouched.
Several assembly screws and the minute hand is missing but clock runs
gilding is in great condition.
engraved on back
"Remodeled by C Frodsham, 1904"
I think the strut may have been modified but I can not see anything else which is missing or changed
A good project for someone
