In overall stable, good condition. Not currently running; has a pendulum but no winding key present. The hands can be manually advanced, and the hammer strikes the bell at the hour and half hour. The works appear in fine condition but have not been tested for timekeeping accuracy or inspected by a horologist. Minor flaking to the enamel face around the winding keyholes and the pinhole within the XII hour mark. Minor bubbling/warping to the enamel at the edge of the face just beyond the 50 minute mark. The glass cover for the face opens with some difficulty. The bronze case with a deep, rich patina. Some components of the case are slightly loose but remain attached; no losses noted.
