Description
The wooden dial plate has a vertical dry split that has been glued once and separated again. Still all 12 signet numerals are intact, each one on a brass shield. One other minor inconvenience is that someone pushed the hand retainer pin in too far and broke off the tip of the minute shaft, so the minute hand is now held on with a friction washer. This will eventually need proper attention. The well made French movement is complete and sound, striking the hours on a gong. Height 25"
