23 October 2024
Condition: Cast metal case has been brushed over with gold paint, but is in good condition. Porcelain dial is chipped and has hairline cracks at the 8 o'clock position. Hands are original. The movement appears to have some surface rust from being stored in a damp place. Most of these novelties are time only, whereas this is a striker. Note typical double escape wheel with chaff cutter 'scape. Height 12 inches
