Condition
**The porcelain dial has a hairline near the top. Also, there are chips around the winding hole and lower edge. Light wear and oxidation to the gilded surface. The mounting bar for the movement across the back side does not appear original. Winding key and pendulum both present. We are unsure of its running condition.
