Condition:
Case is post Second World War; no obvious damage. Movement appears fresh and not believed to be 18th century; dial is convincing and may be early 18th century; movement front and backplates with redundant holes; one upper pillar not aligned as one would expect; shaped flywheel not true-to-type; other anomalies. Has been set going but motion fails after fifteen minutes. Has pendulum and two weights; no key.
