More Information

Some rubbing to the gilding of the case, most notably on the top handle but otherwise in good condition. Enamelling all looks good, top plate looks original and is rather tarnished, movement going but the strike is out of sync with the hands, case numbered 11484, comes for sale with two associated winding keys and a receipt from Garrard Crown Jewellers dated 1969.
