Condition: some oxidation on the brass hands. There are two movements; one in the tail of the hour hand that rotates a counter weight once in 12 hours, and one in the minute hand that rotates every hour. Each movement is a 30 hour watch movement, key wound by a male key (key is absent). Now the dial itself is perhaps made later than the hands, appears to be house numerals soldered to a round wire mask, the whole mounted to an Ansonia bouncer stand. Still, the pair of hands are uncommon. Height 20 inches
