Both glasses with lifting paint and needing attention. The dial is in very fine condition with just a little abrasion around the winding hole. Apparently clock fell off the wall at the repairman's around 1955 (repair note inside) and he replaced the throat glass; he knocked the top drum loose and then made a bracket to hold it while he glued and turned it; this has resulted in 4 extra holes in the drum that are not related to the original dial. There are also some worm holes near the latch, No evidence of recent activity. The signed Waltham movement is very clean and complete with original Geneva stop and weight. Overall a decent clock that will respond to some additional restoration. Height 42 inches
