No handle to the door of the hood. Escutcheon incomplete to the trunk door and the hinges to this door also replaced. Some moulding also missing to the sides of the hood. Some rebuilding to the case and the movement may be c1900. The dial and case are likely to be original to one another. Despite faults overall appearance good.
