The eagle shows evidence of repairs, but is now intact and has been re-bronzed. Note the eagles wings are removable (held on with screws), and the eagles legs have stubs that fit down into the tree-trunk base which has the talons cast in. The over-grown watch movement is a stem wind job, with rear access through a large hinged cover. The nickeled case is mostly worn to brass. Porcelain dial is perfect. Runs. Diam. of case 3.8", Height of eagle, 15" Should attract a lot of attention at $200-300
