拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
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.
