Condition report

The case is in unrestored original condition.  It is dusty and would benefit from a wax.  The glass is in good condition.  The movement is not working and the detent requires adjustment.  It would benefit from a clean and service also.  The pendulum is  detached from the carrier.  Together with its original key.
