Condition: the top cap or roof to the lighthouse is missing; the pendulum is missing [simple affair]. Original movement is complete and will tick when you move the verge. A drive shaft extends upward from the movement to the "fan". Counterweights on the 8 sets of motion works cause the time to advance on the small dials as well.

Note that 3 hands are missing and all dials have been touched up with aluminum paint, and some of the small motion works are frozen.
