Condition Report

Overall very good condition. Clock is working but Apollo mask pendulum (on silk suspension) needs adjustment as it does not quite fit. Future operation is not guaranteed and service is recommended. Dust and soiling overall; all bronze elements appear complete and present. Some negligible pitting and one or two areas of corrosion to the bronze. Numerous tiny frets / chips to edges of marble.
