Case good, with a few bumps, some molding joints separating, clock appears to be complete, will run, pendulum receives impulse, and remontoire resets, but clock hands do not advance, adjustments will be required to all, a very interesting piece of the precision clock development puzzle, see "150 Years of Electric Horology" by Crum & Keller for information on these clocks.
