CONDITION REPORT
With case key and winding key.  The movement is ticking and the strike works.  It is dirty and would benefit from a clean and service.  As noted above the enamel dial is restored.  The back door has lost a small fillet of veneer on the opening edge.  A piece of moulding is loose from the right-hand side of the plinth and some veneer is loose: it is present though.  The case has been repolished at some point and would benefit from some sympathetic work to consolidate it.
