CONDITION REPORT

There is a sunburst pendulum and a steel key.  In overall good condition.  There is a small chip to the outer edge of the dial at the I o’clock, but not visible with the bezel closed.  The staff which the pagod holds is likely replaced.  The movement appears clean and is capable of functioning, subject to a service.  The bell has been cracked and repaired.
