CONDITION REPORT
There is one key and a crank key for winding.  The clock is in good restored condition, albeit some time ago.  The movement is clean and functions.  The oil appears dry so a service is recommended.  The verge may have been re-instated.  As mentioned in the cataloguing, the dial/movement may be associated to the case.  There is a vacant hole in the base of the case for a bolt to the central bottom pillar, however; there is no screw hole in the pillar.  The ogee feet are likely replacements and of the wrong period.
