Some crude alterations such as the Minerva on the crown, was glued back on an inch lower than she was originally. A couple of side latches look like they came off the smokehouse door. These are easy corrections. The unsigned 8 day pinwheel movement is in an iron case sitting on two unusual cast iron brackets, rather nice. I put the pendulum and weight on for the picture and she took off running and won't stop. The porcelain dial has some small chips around the winding arbor that are hard to detect except close up. All it needs is a base, some minor casework, and a cleanup. Good pinwheel movements with pendulums have been selling lately for our minimum.
