The eagle splat has small piece missing on the top of the left wing, and the head to the eagle was broken at one time and reglued. The mirror is a recent replacement. The stenciling was enhanced with a brush some time ago (could be improved with a trip to Karen Larson's). Hands are replacements. The movement is a 4.322 on the Taylor chart of 8-day movements, and was made by Atkins and Downs. A picture of this movement can be found in NAWCC supplement 19, spring 1993, page. 54. Label with some loss, but quite bright. Height 39 1/2"
