Another fine store regulator that has an 8 day, time only movement with a calendar. 37 inch oak case has all its original parts. About 75 percent of the old label on the back, dial is stained and darkened, but sure good enough. Both glasses are old, or new glass made to look old. The top one is held in place solid, the bottom is not in tight and therefore will move a little. It still could be original, looks like those in the catalogs. The mounting blocks were loose, I tightened them a little for the picture, you will need to seat them a little better before running. Ly-Gilbert No. 420.
