Description

There are some very small chips to the stone case along the edges and one slightly larger chip on the front center of the base. Original gilt surfaces are very good. The finish on the hands is slightly dulled from oxidation. The suspension block has been augmented to be adjustable. The unsigned movement strikes with a count wheel and bell.
