Themovement and internal accessories are clean and the clock is running, butthe outside hasn't been touched since the clock was made. There are two fulllabels on the back The only reference to this clock is in Ehrhardt, Book1, Page 163. It would appear they made this clock to be a very nice calendarclock, as advertised in Ehrhardt.
