The paper dial
is old with wear, the hands appropriate.
The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong
on the hours and half-hours; there is an alarm as well that strikes on a cup bell (untested).
The pendulum is Russell &

I can't find any sales records for this model.
