Condition: quite complete, often the compass or globe or the square or straight edge are missing, but this one is all there. A young 'winged' student has his compass on a work paper, notably with a pentagon. The dial has dark blue Roman numerals; there are repairs to the porcelain above 12 and at both winding holes; not bad, but visible on close inspection. The movement is signed as in the headline, well, made, silk thread suspension. Height 15 inches
