The case is good condition, with these exceptions: the carved top has been broken in half and repaired from the back with glue and blocks of wood. It would probably benefit from a more professional repair. The bottom carving has a crack in the molding. Four of the porcelain numbers are chipped or have hairline cracks. The hands are original. The case houses a square plate French movement that now strikes on a brass telephone bell. The aneroid barometer is in good order, and the alcohol thermometer is in good condition as well. Height 37.5 inches
