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.
Good condition overall. The original glass cover on the dial has been replaced with a plastic cover, set in a plastic rim imitating gold. There are traces of adhesive under the plastic rim around the dial.
The white guilloché enamel dial with some superficial flakes around the centre, the hands possibly later.
There is a small insignificant chip to the pink enamel at 11 o'clock, just under the gold outer rim.
It is possible that the gold side frame around the laurel-chased border has been repaired.
One screw is missing from the back. Otherwise, general surface scratching, especially to the backplate, consistent with age and use.
In a fitted Bentley and Skinner wooden case.
