Clock ticks when wound and has a working alarm! Alarm goes off, but the tab does not stop it so when the set time has the alarm go off you have to either let it run down or change time set. Could be an easy fix? Has not undergone a 24-hour test to see how well it keeps time. Clock is in amazing shape and is a great addition to the collection! No refunds, as clock is very old and the workability of these clocks can only be guaranteed by a professional clock repairman, and I am not that. As stated above clock has not been tested for accuracy! Proceed to purchase with that knowledge please. I ship all items USPS Priority Mail unless a different method of shipping has been worked out with buyer prior to purchasing. International shipping accepted via the Global Shipping Program to save money for International buyers, but combined shipping cannot be offered. (All International buyers must pay separate shipping for each item bought) I sell several clocks and collectibles, as well as some other odds and ends so be sure to follow me as a seller and check out my other listings as I do combine shipping where possible. Clocks being sold are coming out of my personal collection and have been kept in the best condition possible. Clocks are being sold to you the way that I purchased them, therefore any questions regarding care prior to my owning is impossible for me to know, but I will give you every bit of info I know about these items as I can. Thank you and happy offerding!
