This clock has what Howard Miller calls a "Windsor Casual" cherry finish on select hardwoods and veneers.   The clock has a cable-driven, triple chime Kieninger movement with chime silence option, so you can choose the Westminster, St. Michael's or Whittington chime sequence or you can choose the silent mode.  This clock comes with its original key and crank.  This clock also offers you a cool feature that most grandfather clocks do not have.  That is, it has a removable front panel, so you can display the clock with a solid wood raised panel or a clear beveled glass panel.  Another thing I like about this particular clock is its size.  It measures 80.5" in height, 18" in width across the crown molding (12" in width across the center cabinet) and 12.75" in depth measured at the molding level (10" in depth measured at center cabinet level).  It is large enough to have all the presence and stateliness of a grandfather clock, but it is not so massive that it either overpowers a space or is simply too big to fit at all.  In other words, it's not too big; it's not too small; it's just right for today's living spaces.  While this clock is a used piece so there is some normal wear, it is still in very good condition overall, looks great and is completely functional.  I am selling this piece because I am downsizing.  I am happy to answer any questions you may have and send additional photos so please ask.   This piece is offered for local pickup only in central Raleigh, North Carolina.  PICKUP,  SHIPPING AND/OR DELIVERY SERVICES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THIS AUCTION.  All such arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.  Of course, I will work cooperatively with the buyer regarding their pickup and/or shipping arrangements.  I am also happy to provide a serious bidder with contact information for a couple of shipping companies that my previous buyers of large items have used.   This piece is being offered "AS IS".   Unless materially misrepresented in the listing, this is a final sale.  At the time of pickup, the buyer or buyer's agent will have the opportunity to inspect the piece to confirm that it is as described in the listing.  Once the piece is inspected and pickup begins, the piece becomes the buyer's responsibility.    I have set what I believe is a very fair Buy-It-Now price for this piece.  I am willing to consider a Best Offer if it is a reasonable offer with acceptable terms.  Payment is by PayPal only.  As always, please contact me if you need any further information. If you have checked out my other listings recently, you may have noticed that I have many pieces of home furnishings for sale, and I have many more things still to go.  If you are looking for something in particular, please let me know.  If I have it and plan to sell it anyway, I'll be glad to go ahead and list it for your consideration.  Also, I welcome your inquiries about possible price reductions for multiple purchases.  I'm all for economies of scale, so, if it works for you, please consider the benefit to picking up several items on your "to buy" list all in one trip - the more items purchased, the better the overall price reduction.         A special note to bidders....
