The platform is in running order, and a little positive pressure on the time train causes it to tick; the mainspring is broken at worst, but may simply not be catching on the first coil, from the slipping sound one hears on winding; the platform is silver plated, very dark with tarnish, and will require silver cleaning before normal cleaning; the remainder of the mechanism is complete and dark with tarnish only; the dial is perfect but the overglaze signature is slightly rubbed and should not be touched in any way, as these signatures are notoriously delicate and can be wiped right off; hands seem a bit bold; case shows normal tarnish; very small corner chip on back glass; larger corner flake on side glass
