Condition Report

The movement is marked for Junghans. The movement runs with encouragement and the balance spring and going train can be seen moving when the mechanism runs The movement is wound solid but when working causes the head to nod and the tail to wag. The head looks as if it has been re-threaded.

The head and tail is suspended by cotton and moved by wires lifted by the mechanism every rotation of the movement. (when working)
