Did I need another thrust action Adler? No. But it was so pretty!

Condition

Need deeper evaluation but it has a broken drawstring and I worry something is broken in the escapement. The bentwood case should be a relatively easy fix but the (missing) key is actually functional on this case, it opens the top. I'll have to see if I can find one.

Provenance
