Tested and in working condition. Clock actively ticks and runs under its own power. The dial and silver-tone bezel display an honest antique patina. Front glass is in great condition with no cracks, chips, or breaks. The black paint on the cylindrical rear housing shows heavy flaking and cosmetic wear from age. There is a small vertical hairline fracture on the outer metal collar where the brass winding stem meets the case, so care should be used when pulling the knob to set the time. Shows normal signs of age and could benefit from exterior cleaning and professional servicing for long-term accuracy. Please see photos. Sold as-is.
