Condition
Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. Working condition unknown. Appears to be lacking weights on the interior. As well, the minute hand is loose and dangling, and it may not operate as intended. Lastly, the front panel glazing is later added plexiglass. Moran's does not guarantee the working condition of clocks and watches. Lacking key. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
