Although the finish on the case is original, there are some missing strips of rosewood that have been stained in on the base, and veneer on the left side of lower door is bubbled & lifting. Bottom door always had rosewood panel in lieu of mirror. The top tablet is an old wavy replaced glass, now clear (should have corner designs). The dial has been repainted, and the hands replaced (they are older hands). No label. Despite these shortcomings, this is a hard to find model, worthy of proper restoration, and sure to be worth more when Phil Gregory finishes his Atkins book. Height 18.6 inches
