Condition
The movement is currently not running and it would benefit from service. The enamel dial is in very nice condition with no visible chips, hairlines or imperfections. There is some enamel loss in two places to the edges of the back. The outer frame appears to be missing a few small tassels at 6 o'clock.
The cuvette is inscribed 'From Lanks, August Sixth, 1909'.
