Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.
Condition report:
Two weights, pendulum, no key.
The case is cleaned and polished with various inevitable scuffs, scratches, dents, small chips and marks commensurate with wear, use and age. Slight warp to the bottom of the door.
Dial with various blemishes and areas of tarnish, small spots of tarnishing.
The movement and dial appear to be original to each other, and it’s likely that the movement is original to the case. There is some alteration to the seat board cheeks: the right hand side is cut away with the equivalent piece on top of the check to maintain balance. See extra images for further explanation.
The movement is dirty and will require a full service / overhaul. There is no guarantee of its working order. The movement is a standard 8 day with striking bell.
