Condition: overall good+ to very good condition. The sheet metal case is subject to distress on this model, and this one has survived quite well; the main dial is still bright, and although there are losses on the subsidiary dials, they are mostly legible. Retains original movement, pendulum, and especially the top and flag of the building, which are nearly always absent or replaced. Exterior has been painted a flat brown. Note the windmill turns once per hour, via a vertical shaft from the movement below, and each small dial has a set of motion works to advance the individual hands. See also lot 66. Height 22.5 inches [57cm]
