Condition
The case is a good rich colour. There are minor openings to some of the joins in the mouldings as one expects, and other minor scuffs or replaced or re-glued veneer pieces.
The dial is perfectly legible though the lacquer has tarnished slightly. The hands look original and are polished steel.
The movement is clean and running. The strike is clean and bright. The repeat facility is operational. The plates are relatively bright but there is old oil emanating from some of the pivot holes, it would certainly benefit from a clean.
