Overall very good condition. With very minute pitting the chrome frame, mostly concentrated along the bottom edge. The metal hands of the clocks with minor abrasion to the lacquered surface, mostly concentrated to the second hand. The chromed case of the clock mechanism at the reverse of the clock with an area of glue residue from old stickers and a ¼ inch square area of abrasion to its top center. The movement back plate fitted to the case with three screws, one is a later replacement. Electrified with a US plug. Movement is not guaranteed to run at time of cataloging and was not tested for accuracy of time and may need service at the buyer's discretion. A beautiful example of the model.
