Condition: this came from storage and we had to work to get the tape off the dome. Mov't is oily and dirty, but still ticking. Dial with a chip repair to rt winding hole; alarm set hand absent. Pendulum is original with matching number, and both the movement and the dial are signed as in the headline. The strike hammer is there, but the hammer for the alarm is missing [just a regular wire and brass disc], and the pull cord for the alarm needs re-newing. Old dome is perfect. Ht of frame = 7.5" with dome and base = 10"
