The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

CASE: In a good restored condition. Seat board probably associated. Historical chopping-out to back board around the crutch and pendulum bob. Back board trimmed at the base. Plinth and feet later, box base re-veneered, probably a result of historic worm damage.DIAL: The chapter ring a little tarnished. The spandrels possibly later. The hands with burrs to the rear of each and probably later. The hour hand bent and cracked.
MOVEMENT: The escape wheel and pallet frame are replacements. Later steel tension springs on both flys. Repeat fly is cut/filed down. Back cock has been repositioned a little and the screw heads are small. The connecting rod to the large repeat spring is a little unusual, the brass nut is a replacement. The strike/no strike lever protrudes through the dial a fair distance which makes it easy to use. The strike bell is a little heavy and a replacement. The repeat bells have later spacers.
Not tested, would benefit from a service.
