The 3-piece cast iron case is sound with no breaks nor cracks. The paint is old except for the vest which shows some re-paint. Hard part is the 8-day movement and Waterbury dial which appear to have been replaced 100 years ago. No glass in bezel, but bezel is original; hands old replacements. Despite the changed movement, an above average blinker. Height 16 inches
