Condition Report
Dial slightly oxidised, minute hand repaired, seconds hand missing, movement in need of major repair, escapement and balance appear to be complete and will "tick" for short periods, however the minute hand moves in the manner of a seconds hand so may be incomplete wheel work beneath the dial, box rather battered overall but lovely patina. Prospective buyers should inspect personally.
