More Information

The movement is complete but dusty. The dial is in quite good condition and seems to belong to the movement and both seem to be original to the case. the hood door has some veneer missing and its top hinge is loose. the case back has been partly replaced at some time, but quite well. The right side of the hood needs repolishing.
