Condition: Copper color painted shield with gold colored shamrocks is in very nice clean condition with original dial, hands and movement (paint is recent). Original decorative dial is very nice, but has darkened a little with age. Hands are original. Inside the case is a small, well made, 8-day tic tac escapement pendulette movement. Missing, but not obvious, is an axe which would have fit in a tube welded onto the rear of the shield. Ht 26" [66 cm]
