Condition report; The clock winds and runs, but we do not guarantee accuracy of time keeping, shallow dent at the back of the case, the screw heads by the four feet are possibly replacements, the other two screws which attach the movement to the base do not match and look fairly recent, some evidence of glue/adhesive at the bottom and some overflow of possibly solder around the hallmarks. Tortoiseshell panels; the front has a crack at the top right near 2 o'clock, one pin attaching the panel to the front of the silver is missing. Two pins missing to the right hand side. Evidence of glue towards the bottom of one of the side panels. Haircrack on the dial extends from 1 to 10 o'clock, generally rather tired, would benefit from personal inspection
