the brass base has dulled ever so slightly. Gilt castings are bright and in excellent condition. Dial and hands appear perfect. Correct disc pendulum. The suspension is complete. Glass dome is a good fit. The movement corresponds to Terwilliger's plate 1471 and is stamped with "PATENT ANGEMELDET / PATENT APPLIED".
