The case has been refinished. The dial surface is original, and most of the gold minute dots, but the black Romans have been over-painted. The engraved Terry label is excellent (has equation of time scale to the sides). Clock has a sticker in the bottom indicating it was part of the "General Time Collection" (they owned Seth Thomas from 1931 onward). The hour and minute hands are original; the alarm pointer is a reasonable replacement. The time & alarm movement is in excellent condition, clean and functional. The full border tablet should have been painted with border on 3 sides only. This clock is pictured in the book American Clocks & Clockmakers, by Carl W. Dreppard. Height 20.25 inches
