| Condition Report
In super condition. The clock had survived in extraordinary condition and I assume it had spent most of its life in storgae. The dial has been repainted to a high standard as it had suffered from the usual corrosion around the dial feet. Very clean clock, well represented by the larger photos (follow the link above). |
