This looks like the best the Russians had to offer for a trendy desk clock at the time. The case is cut and polished crystal, supported by two curved steel corbels in deco style mounts. The very base is like black bakelite, and there are two little chips along the perimeter. The substantial movement has a 11j lever escapement and is running fine. The chapter ring is stamped brass over an oxidized brass background. Certainly a conversation item. Height 7" $125-175
