in excellent restored condition. The dial has been re-touched in the center, and 95 percent of the signature is new. There were enough letters showing on the high spots to be sure what to restore, however purists will differ in opinion on the results. As you will note, for some reason this dial only flaked in the center 3 inch portion; the outer part and numerals are original and were not touched in the restoration. Rosewood case was refinished long ago. Hands original; movement clean and running. Height 12" $250-350
