The case has rosewood veneered front and mahogany veneered sides. Veneer is exceptional except for the flat base which is missing the veneer and has been stained to match the rest. Spire on left steeple is an old replacement. Original William B. Fenn faux acid etch-style glass is in fine condition. Original unsigned OG style movement with curved rivited extensions to extend plates and convert to an 8-day spring-driven movement. Gong is located in an unusual place, but original label shows no evidence that it has been moved. Very good original dial with raised chapter and some paint loss outside chapter ring. Hour hand is original small spade and replaced hour hand can be easily filed to proper spear shape. Height 193/4"
