good running order, ticks but needs more weight as ballast on the left side. The case is in good condition with gilding still present. The dial is in very good condition with no hairlines and Breguet style moon hands. We sold a sister to this item in our last clock sale of November 2009 for the price of $3680. For a larger example of this model in a striking version, see Robert's book "Mystery Novelty and Fantasy Clocks" page 264 No. 22-25. Ht 7"
