24 October 2024
the original finish is lightly crazed and the bottom finial is absent. The huge brass top eagle is about 4 times bigger than the original bird. The metal dial has small areas of wear, and the brass side arms and bezel have a bit of tarnish. The glass throat tablet is nearly perfect, the lower one has had some inpainting that now, too, is flaking. The twin-spring time-only movement will need cleaning. Ht 42"
