With its pendulum. The movement is dirty and will require a clean and service. The dial foot at III o’clock has moved and is now visible. Some paint scratching to the chapters. The glass is cracked. The pegs are associated. Some veneer loss around bottom door, with a broken hinge. Case with scratches and knocks commensurate with age.
