CONDITION: No hands and the glass is missing also. Music plays when wound. The pendant bow plunges but with no apparent sounds or striking as a result so maybe a repeater also, but in need of attention??.

Two small knocks to the perimeter of the case back and some very minor scratches to the case back also. Cuvette is gilt metal. Cluster of small scratches where the gold was tested on the inside of the case back.
