Condition Report
Further to the catalogue description, in good working order, but prone to running fast. Slow/fast lever is broken prior to exiting on dial, which is an easy repair. Some minor rust spotting to rim of dial. No known provenance for clock. It is unusual because it is so large. Otherwise, in generally good order. Additional photographs of the movement have been placed online, which show that it is made by Smiths. Some minor denting to case.
