The case has some veneer loss on the curved front areas and on the base. There is some damage on the back edge of the area near the peak. Both glasses are original with the lower glass having faded with age. The hands are modern replacements. The dial has been nicely repainted, but has a spurious signature of J.C.Brown. The original movement is marked "Forestville", and came out of the Brown shop, but he would have shipped a resale clock with unsigned dial. Movement is running OK. The gong support has been moved around, although it looks to be original. Height 19"
