CONDITION REPORT
With two brass cased weights and a steel rod and large brass bob pendulum. The clock is in very good condition. The case has been re-waxed recently and has very attractive veneers. The dial has been repainted. The dial has a ‘bruise’ in the metal opposite the VIII numeral, but hardly visible. The movement is clean but a little dusty and might benefit from a service.
