A lovely little clock that is charming in its simplicity. It has a plain white face with a bevelled glass cover. I have lightly cleaned it but it would polish to a brighter finish if desired.
The movement appears to be working well - I have had it running and after a little adjustment to the regulator it is keeping good time, possibly loosing a minute or two a day. Please note that the clock will probably need the regulator adjusting again once it has been bought and delivered as the journey often upsets the movement a bit. This is easily done by winding it fully then monitoring it after 24 hours and adjusting the regulator lever towards S (slow) or F (fast) accordingly, then checking again, and so on, until it is keeping accurate time.
There are no makers makes on the case or movement that I can see.
