This is really a very nice example of this rare Waltham model. There has been some paint touch up to flaking gold leaf, but none that is objectionable. Clock retains original, dial, hands, tablets, weight, crank, and case hardware. The case is die stamped No.5., and also pencil marked "5". Both tablets are excellent. The quality and durability of the Waltham movements are legendary (front plate is die stamped Waltham Watch Co., USA). Additional details may be found in Waltham catalogs from this period and also in Tran Duy Ly's book, titled American Clocks, Vol 1., published in 1989. Height 43 inches
