clock. The tablet has a couple of minor flakes. The dial has a little paint loss on one side and around the winding holes and near 4 o'clock. The rosewood veneered case has a small piece missing on the back edge of the base, but is overall excellent. The case has been refinished. Note that this is one of the few Brown cases that has all of the veneer running long ways rather than cross ways; despite the sprayed on finish, the veneer is very attractive with lively grain. Height 15 inches
