Description

Condition: Movement is in nice condition with just a small ding on the left side. This timepiece still has its original acorn weights on the foliot escapement arm, and the iron weight to run the movement. The foliot arm has been repaired. Nice example. These were sold by the thousands at the Columbian Exposition in 1892-93. Ht 14" [35.5 cm]
