Condition Report

The going and chiming train both wind freely and the clock chimes the corresponding hour

The clock runs but soon stops, the fact that this clock runs is NOT a guarantee of accuracy or reliability, as with any clock of 100 yrs of age or more it must be assumed that this movement will require some degree of service or repair.

The dial is free from cracks or chips but some of the inscription has fled off but all numerals and indices are intact.

The clock comes with a key

The marble is intact and unmarked.
