The dial is in good condition; the hour hand is bent, and the minute hand is damaged. The movement seems complete but needs to be operational and needs a full service and overhaul. The silver case is tarnished but otherwise in generally good condition. The enamel panel has scratches and a chip in the grass below the figures.
