This miniature rosewood veneered case is in very nice condition, with old finish that has been nicely waxed. The upper dial has a new paper cover (would have been painted), while the lower dial is original. The bezels retain their rosewood graining. The original hands are intact (only this small model used this club style hand). Most of the original label is gone. There has been a repair to a crack in the top bezel, near 1. The Lewis patent calendar was manufactured by E. Burwell, Bristol, and with green label intact (some wear and stains). Overall good+ condition. Would be 2000 dollars if all original. Height 26 inches
