Condition: minute hand is broken off its hub and floating around inside. Mov't is fully wound, runs few seconds and stops, quite dirty. Strikes hours and quarters, but out of sequence. Original jeweled lever platform intact. A careful look at the dial shows it was probably retailed by Tiffany and Co, New York, but only New York remains on the dial; rest of dial is xlnt. Rear plate with D-C in oval with tiny carriage clock in between. Clock needs a thorough clean, however movement is basically complete and sound; dirt on inside of glass makes shadows on dial. Height 7.1 inches
