Condition Report
The case is good to fair with evidence of gilt rub and surface wear, as well as light pitting and residue.
AMMEND: The spring moves with a flick of the wrist, however the clock won't wind (the winding part sits loose), so would need some work.
The striking mechanism is behind the back plate so am unable to tell if it is a bell or gong. Having moved hands this is currently not striking.
