The rosewood and mahogany veneered case is in good condition, but with the outer rosewood banding having numerous chips and loss. The rosewood veneered door has a couple of minor chips. Both glasses are original. The tablet is especially nice with some restoration near the bottom. The signed wood painted dial is very good with a scrape caused by the hand. The movement bears the die stamp of the maker. The label is very dark but readable. Height 29 inches
