Please see images below.
At the top of the images below I have included four short videos to give you an idea of how the clock runs and strikes.
Condition.
The movement is in good original untouched condition with old patina although it is slightly dusty. Maybe could do with a light clean.
There is some wear to the pinion leaves but this does not interfere with the running of the clock .
The escapement functions correctly
The movement is complete.
Drive weights and long pendulum with wall bracket included.
One of the lower dial feet (lugs) is missing but this does not affect the security of the dial attachmet to any significant degree.
