Helvetic stamp on base. 10 1/2 in. (26.7 cm.) Provenance: From the collection of Frank J. Locuratolo, Mount Vernon, New York; member of the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors

Condition

One screw along case base is a modern replacement. Cage needs re-set into base on one side. One vertical cage wire is a later replacement; the thickness and finish of this wire does not match the others. Condition reports are available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply an object is free of imperfections. Bidders are encouraged to inspect items in person or through a knowledgeable representative. If you have questions about condition, please contact Bray & Co. before placing your bid.
