The case has been stripped. Someone was very clever and restored the decorative elements on the top of the case with pressed oak versions of a similar design that were stained to match. The original elements were carved walnut. Hands are replaced. The case has a signed beat scale. The cut and mirrored glass pendulum is rather nice and is worth about $150. There is some loss to the mirror in the pendulum. The door glass is original, and with the remains of an etched border pattern. Would have been $450 if correct Height 19.5Ó $200-$300
