Condition: overall very good condition, movement sound and complete with original tongue wires and pendulum. There are some old repairs to the jesters, which are pot metal and soft. Still, this is the FIRST example we have ever seen that is complete with the jesters, normally we see the basket/clock alone. The plastic crystal over the time dial has turned dark, so we removed it for the foto. Movement signed Mayer. Suggest picking this up in person to avoid damage, or we can bring it to Chattanooga in June. Height 7.1 inches [18cm]
