Condition:
Original but neglected condition: Case - bird finial one wing clipped and incomplete; two chipped and incomplete carved wood sections at sides; woodworm in areas, see images 9 to 13; both side doors open and cuckoo operates above dial, image 14; hands and numerals are some form of moulded composition, not bone or ivory; the Roman 10 partially incomplete. Movement with key and original pendulum; going train has been wound and appears to have worked over some seven hours, although not guaranteed; curiously, left arbour winds the going train, right arbour the strike train which is fully-wound and sadly not working so no cuckoo action.
