CONDITION REPORT

With two cast-iron weights, pendulum and crank key.  One crocket from hood is loose.  The case is ‘dry’ and would benefit from a wax.  The base has some shrinkage.  Marks and knocks consistent with age.  The left edge of the case by the panel door lock has been slightly cut in the past to accommodate the lock?  The movement is clean and appears well cared for.  It may benefit from a service.
