the porcelain chapter ring is from a later spring Vienna. The 'scape wheel has been repaired and about half the pins replaced, and some are slightly bent, stopping the time train. The verge itself is a robust item, and the crutch with vernier beat adjustment. Attractive case with some corner chips to wood; gilding on accents is excellent An item worthy of some additional restoration. Ht 22"
