09.10.19 Case is faded in parts, case with small chips and dents in parts, trunk door is bowed, trunk with a later lock plate, chips around the lock, one small hole to the left hand side of the trunk door, base skirting with some veneers missing, two wooden blocks added under the seatboard on both side cheeks, later seatboard, movement needs cleaning, in my opinion the dial and movement are all original to the case, with pendulum and two weights.
