The brass case is in need of polishing. The beveled glass panels are excellent except for the left panel which appears to be a replacement. The porcelain dial is perfect with original hands. One of the glass vials on the simulated mercury pendulum has a chip. Otherwise complete and sound; note this is the only Seth Thomas model where the top of the case is screwed on with external screws that remain visible; see Seth Thomas illustration of this model. Height 103/4"
