23 October 2024
The refinished mahogany and mahogany veneered case is in pretty nice condition with a little veneer loss on the sides and some patched areas. The movement is period and original to the case. The dial is new and is made of a thin piece of pine. The upper glass is old and the putty is new. The tablet is a frosted design, a modern copy of an old Fenn design, however this model usually had a mirror or a painted tablet. The hands are replacements and the wrong type. There are a set of period Bristol weights that will work, but are slightly different than the Torrington style. Height 23.5 inches
