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: Good overall condition.
With inevitable marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use.
With minor hairline cracks to the veneers, as to be expected with age and use.
The mounts appear regilt.
DIAL: The 26.5 cm. diameter dial, the paper and glass are later replacements. The dial plate is original. The sides of the hour hand have been filed or cut down. The second hand is slightly misshapen.
MOVEMENT: The movement is dirty and the steel has some light corrosion. The backplate has a couple of vacant holes and the crutch is bent. Requires a service and minor repairs.
