English short drop, 8 day time only, single fusee movement, ca1900. 19 inches mahogany case has not been cleaned or even dusted.
One little corner nick, bottom back edge. The drop down door on the base still has the original brass knob, but the catch inside is missing. Now held by a screw that will eventually wear away the wood. The original painted dial ring and numerals are great but the newly painted inner section detracts from the overall look. If only the paint had blended with the other. Side wings are carved and perfect. There is only one peg holding the bezel to the case. The bottom glass has a heavy piece of brass outlined around it and there is string brass inlay around the lower glass. 90% or more of the original putty remains around the top glass. A very large, heavy, brass pendulum, typical of the fusee movements, is in the case. The well made, heavy movement, is operating properly, hands are original, and the name, "CHIPPING" was highlighted when the inner dial was repainted.
