Condition Report
Dial - needs cleaning and probable resilvering.
Movement - converted from verge to anchor. Third barrel necessitated cut-out to centre of seatboard. Backplate is unsigned and has a few minor holes.
Case - crack to door arch plus minor splits and scuffs: overall a bit tired but sound. There is a slight gap to the frame surrounding the dial when the front door is open.
