This round side case is typically seen with a 30 hour brass movement by Jerome, and it is nice to see one with original wood movement. Case has been refinished. The veneer is in very good condition with only a couple of minor repairs on the base. The original upper door glass is cracked. The mirror, while very old maybe a replacement. The wood movement is brass bushed. The dial and hands are original; note dial later secured with screws through 9 and 3. Still a nice example of an uncommon combination. Height 23.5 inches
