The heavy cast brass case appears to have been nickel plated, but is now worn down to the brass base. The signed 4.5" porcelain dial is chipped around the fast/slow setting hole and around the seconds bit, and it has been painted in over the damage. The door glass has a crack that has propagated about 1.5 inches into the panel. The case houses a signed round plate movement of extra quality "Made in the best manner, with Steel Pinions & Chronometer Balance, Jeweled and are fitted up with finely tempered Hair Spring". Would be $500 in excellent condition. Height 7.5 inches
