The refinished walnut case has an age crack on the bottom and dry separations of some of the sections that make up the case. The case was separated from the backboard, which is still with the timepiece and both were attached to a larger walnut backboard. It should be very easy to remove the case from this backboard and reattach it to the original. The signed movement retains it's original brass spring. The original painted dial is in very good condition with some darkening from age. The brass grommet at the winding hole is missing. The hands are original. Part of the label is missing where the backboard was reduced in thickness to allow more space for the pendulum. The case measurement does not include the new backboard. Height 15.5 inches
