This is the third model of the rack and snail strike movement with original brass springs. The original signed dial has age cracks to the paint. Both glasses are original with some flaking of the tablet (great image of Ballston Springs). There has been some excellent veneer repair on the case. The key escutcheon has been repaired; pendulum is a later Seth Thomas, less rating assembly, and hands are old but incorrect for this model. Height 19"
