The round movement has a new Swiss lever platform and is in good working order. Both the clock and barometer have porcelain dials, and both dials signed H. Cerf, Opticien du Roi, Bruxelles. The baro dial is good, the clock dial has hairlines and a small chip by 9 that could be handily repaired, and the 3 screws to retain the clock in the brass sphere were lost when it was last repaired, and they will need replacing. The clock is otherwise complete and original and with thermometer and barometer intact, and both rear dust covers present. Modest reserve should allow for minor restorations. Height 11 inches Reserve $900
