The surface presents with minor surface scratches, a few minor dents, edge abrasions, small areas of discoloration and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use.

The reverse door with a minor bending to the upper and lower portion. With a key. The clock dial is slightly loose, and one of the screws of the dial has been replaced. With a key. The movement is not guaranteed to run at the time of cataloguing and was not tested for accuracy of time and may need service at the buyer's discretion.
