condition. The movement has been serviced, has nicely shaped plates and retains both original chains. The gong standard has been replaced with a heavy substitute made by a good mechanic. The dial has been polished to brass and the engraved numerals painted black. The mahogany case retains original finish and has wonderful carvings on the front (grapes and leaves at the bottom and pansies at top); and with delicate side frets (some restoration on these). Has winding key, but no key to rear door or bezel latch. Runs and strikes on a heavy coiled gong with deep tone. Height 17 inches
