CONDITION REPORT

The clock case has been regilded.  The strike and repeat works.  However the clock is not ticking.  Some of the teeth on the going barrel appear to have been repaired and replaced.  The minute hand looks as if it repaired.  The dial is not damaged.  The silvered platform escapement may be a replacement.  The screw holes to hold it in place are oversized and one screw is missing.   It will require some attention and this is reflected in the estimate.
