Condition Report
Rubbing to silvering at top left corner of scale. General superficial scratching to scale, brass vernier arm bent, one screw missing to main tube retention strap. Timber has been sympathetically repolished some years ago.
Tube mercury responds when brass screw to base is turned so is assumed functional but not guaranteed.
Fellows do not guarantee the working order or accuracy of any clocks sold.
