More Information

We have not had this clock running, but have no reason to believe it would not be in good working order, generally condition is reasonable with expected wear and tear for age to the case, although the dial and chapter ring appear to have commensurate age to the rest of the case, the centre of the dial looks like it may have been replaced at some point in the past, see images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible
