2 of these old movements look complete and usable. The 8 day brass works has rack and snail strike and grooved barrels. The wood movement is thick and chunky, on an old probably original seatboard. The most unusual is the cutaway 30 hour brass, complete with bell, pulleys and seatboard with a little "restored 1933" plate. Note: no pendulums, weights, dials, etc. Small movement doesn't appear complete as we see no minute post and hour gear different color and doesn't mesh with intermediate wheel.
