Condition
Good condition with oxidized spots scattered throughout, top left back corner is slightly bent, white enamel ring dial has hairlines, base pendant is worn to copper or is made to look as such and there are a few normal light scratches. The base metal is brass and it appears the brushed gold lacquer finish is probably of a more recent date.  Simpson Galleries does not guarantee any timepiece or clockwork mechanism.
