CONDITION DETAILS

In substantially good condition with anchor escapement converted from verge. ITime and strike trains in working order, although no guarantee is provided. Chimes do not operate automatically, although can be triggered and work manually. Repeat mechanism not operating. The movement appears to have been restored in the last 20 years, and is clean and I believe complete. The current issues, I believe, are minor.
