Eureka clock Nº 8256

The movement as delivered without case. This tall movement seems to be in excellent all round condition with any wear limited to the contact set and return spring. It is a two ball movement with a second hand. The bezel though was very loose because the retaining screws were not catching the back of the dial plate with sufficient friction. This may be a replacement bezel. But either way it is simple enough to correct by adjusting the dial to sit further out from the dial plate and closer to the bezel.
