Condition: the dial plate has a crack extending out from 2 to the edge of the porcelain. The painted numbers have some loss and have been touched up. The F/S adjusting rod is absent, leaving a vacant hole in the dial above 12; replacement hands are too short. The case retains its original gilding, worn to brass in a few places from handling. The signed movement is clean and is running and striking. Ht 15.5" [39cm]
