In good working order but does look the age (or has patina as the antique dealers call it to justify the price).
I think the case is a very early one as it does not have the round window I've seen listed. The box does need TLC as the wood is dry and joints are pulling apart. Also the lining has completely gone and the handle is not original
There is no key but it can be wound with a radiator bleed key.
