Condition report

With winding crank, two cast-iron weights and cast-iron bob pendulum.  The movement is very dirty and will require a service.  The case is in reasonable order, some marks, scratches and knocks consistent with age.  A small veneer loss to the crossbanding on top left corner of the base.  Filled worm holes to the left side of the hood around the top of the door and in other parts.
