CONDITION REPORT
The clock ticks when wound and the strike/repeat functions. The platform is very discoloured and the movement would benefit from a clean and service. The upper surface of the case is dirty and would benefit from a wash if serviced. There is no damage to the glass. The enamel dial is in perfect condition. The clock strikes correctly in all modes.
