The arm was recently cleaned and is in strong running order; the porcelain dial is excellent and the hands are original. There are some dings in the bezel and the cylinder part; the bottom bob is missing its pointer. The well-made movement bears Guilmet's Gold Medal award stamp, and serial #8707. The spelter statue is pretty good, with some wear to the patinated bronze finish, and the stem of the flowers in her right hand has been broken away for a long time (not noticeable unless you tip the statue up). Overall a good looking swinger in a modest price range. Height 29 inches
