Condition: Case has tarnish and wear, so it is hard to tell how much of the silver plating is left, we'd leave it alone; has nice patina. You have two silvered brass polo sticks, two bits, a helmet top center and a spur bottom center; a horseshoe surrounds the clock, and the stirrup acts as stand and holder for everything. Porcelain dial is perfect and hands are original. Platform escapement has been replaced, and is running very nicely. We expect this to go to the UK or Argentina, and imagine the estimate is conservative. Height 8.25 inches
