CONDITION REPORT
With pendulum, crank key and two brass-cased weights.

The movement appears to have been substantially rebuilt, probably using associated and new components. The dial plate has a vacant pillar hole, indicating the movement is associated to it. The date ring and countwheel are also replacements.
