Other than the refinishing, which is well done and shows off the beautiful crotch mahogany, this clock is otherwise original. It has a good label, and very attractively hand colored lithograph on the backboard (charming Saturday Night scene), and great polychrome wooden dial with mis-spelled "Forestvill". Retains original Wm B. Fenn monochromatic glasses, silver in color and they are still quite bright (some loss on center glass). Overall excellent. Height 34"
