This timepiece is in as found condition. The movement is dirty and in need of a cleaning. The wood base may have been repainted in the past as there is evidence of fragments of old paint visible. Original paper dial is in poor condition. Original hands. The glass dome is too small. The ball pendulum is unusual as in most examples the string attachment is closer to the ball. One of the spokes is broken off the 12 spoke winding key.
