The outer banding of the case has some veneer chips at the corners and on the bottom and a small piece missing on one side. The original tablet is marvelous with only minor flaking of background. The original painted wood dial is very nice and the hands are original. The case houses a signed fancy scroll plate brass movement. The label is a little dark with some loss, but is readable, has the early J. C. Brown factory that was destroyed by fire in 1853. A nice OG. Height 29 inches
