Condition Report: The case in overall good condition. Scattered old small repairs and a few small losses to veneer. Slight warp to door. General marks, nicks, scratches and wear. With a good nutty / chestnut color to timber. Door slightly faded. Slight water spotting to base. The square brass dial with small areas of loss of silvering to the chapter ring. Heavier at VI. Currently maintining power and striking correctly although the bell sounds dull and is probably a replacement. The seatboard with numerous holes at either end. Matching numerous holes in the cheeks now below 1/4in shims. With pendulum, weights, crank and case key,
