Condition Report

The clock has been restored for sale. The dial has been repainted and is actually more cream than it appears in the photos. Te movement has been fully overhauled. The case is in excellent original order. The fixing of the hinge to the bezel has been resoldered; the glass is very old (wobbly=nice) but hasn't been fitted perfectly and some putty is visible (see detailed photo). Both are mentioned for accuracy but really don't impact the enjoyment..
