There are a couple of small veneer repairs on the case, but overall an extremely nice case. The original painted dial has a little loss where the dial is mounted in the case. The minute hand is an old replacement, and a little short (not bad). The two upper glasses are original. The bottom glass is a replacement that matches the middle tablet (very well done). The clock has a good label, typical of this model "Accelerating Lever Spring", with some oil stains and minor losses (way above average for a wagon spring). Time and strike. Height 26Ó $2,750-$3,250
