The mahogany case is in very nice condition, nicely refinished some time ago (it had been painted). The original dial has been repainted. The hands are original. The well made heavy plated fusee movement retains its original chain. There is some veneer damage on the bottom side of the case. The drop down door on the bottom is intact with its original lock. The one major problem with the clock is the old bezel is from another clock and is about half an inch too small, with the result the dial looks like it is slightly off center (it is not). You can live with this or find a larger bezel. Height 22.5 inches
