Just picked this up and the seller posts it wrapped in a plastic bag in a box with wadded up paper. The crown snapped off in shipping. The crown and crown shaft actually hold the movement in position within the sphere. Now I have to find a place to get it fixed properly. All for the sake of some styrofoam peanuts and an oversize box. :x

That sucks Paul. Great pick up, we all know what some people have been asking for those. Can Craig help with that?

It looks like to me to be gold plating over pot metal. Would have been nice if made out of brass.
