Condition: Weighted movement incased in a brass ball with a time ring is attached at the top of the support bracket and slowly falls from its own weight and reveals the time from a point on lower half of the ball. The brass case is good and has a dent on the lower half and is in need of polishing. The silvered time ring is tarnished. The movement with jeweled platform escapement is good condition, but some of the steelwork has surface rust. Yoke at the end of the chain for hanging on the bracket is missing. Height 30 inches
