Condition

The illustration is quite accurate. Please note that not all the case is ebonized. Some marks and scratches overall the case. Few woodworms holes particularly to the front (behind the glass panel, underneath the Massy signature). One small damage to the upper back right corner; the hanging elements need to be refixed. With a key and pendulum, working condition is not guarantee.
