The refinished mahogany veneered case is pretty nice condition with a couple of minor chips. The dial has paint loss and stress cracking (and is still flaking). The upper glass is original and the mirror is very old and also looks to be original. The brass-bushed movement is clean and intact with working alarm and original alarm disc. The label has some discoloration but very readable and quite interesting. Height 28.5 inches
