The refinished ash case is in very nice condition. The original painted time dial has some loss around the winding arbors and some flakes at 1 and 6 o'clock. The original paper calendar dial has darkened a little and is stained in places and there is a little piece missing on the bottom edge (probably gone from the start as the dial card was cut a bit small. The hands are original. In a traditional double dial, a wire drops down from the movement to the calendar below; in this instance the wire travels up through the top of the case to the calendar mechanism. These are hard to find. There were at least 6 trim variations on this case, and we sold a cousin to this in Apr 2002 for 1800 dollars (lot 391) Height 18.75 inches
