The dial will need refinishing; it has been poorly re-blacked once, and although it is fully legible, the bond of the paint has failed and it is wrinkling up on the entire surface (original signature was Webster, 91 Gracechurch St., London). The mahogany case in is very nice condition; couple of small dents on the dial surround, but retains original finish. The heavy movement with robust pillars is complete and sound, and would benefit from service. Note this movement was made with cable on the fusee and has round valleys in the fusee and original cable; movement barely fits in this small case. Would have been $1500 with original dial intact. Height 11"
