Condition: the two tone arm has a gilt frame and gun-metal colored bezel, ball and rear cover; much of the gilding on the frame is worn away and the brass turned brown. The porcelain dial is perfect. Hands, cover, wind and set stems, wooden base, statue, etc all original. A very nice example of this model and runs. Ht 11"
