This clock is not working, the spring is broken I should think, but hopefully someone will have the werewithal to repair it. There are a couple of indentations to the brass bezel but nothing to detract too much, also there is some tarnish to the rear plate and the wee balls on the foot but these will clean up fine. The case of the clock is made from a deep cherry red bakelite with an amber coloured interior, there are three or four smalll chips/frits that reveal the interior colour quite clearly. With a bright torch it is easy to see swirls and clouds within the material and also there are several gold colour glitter sparkles near the surface and a golden bloom to the top edge. Hopefully the photos show this but it isn't easy to photograph at all.

The clock case measures 14.9cms wide and is 4cms deep. The thickness of the case varies between 5mm and 7mm and it weighs 135g. There are some small scuffs and scratches here and there but all in all it is a beautiful thing.

There are no internal or external cracks to the material at all. Simichrome polish turns a deep yellow when rubbed onto it and the material smells very strongly of chemicals when rubbed.
