The mahogany case is very nice with great rippling and original finish. There are two minor veneer repairs to the door and the ripple molding on the left side of the base has a small piece missing. Both glasses are original. This milk glass stenciled glass is perhaps the NICEST we have ever seen; no one has ever tried to clean it (sure death for this weak paint). The dial surface is original, the chapter and signature re-blacked. Now a novice tried to restore the signature with a tooth pick and black paint; this can be professionally corrected. The movement is signed by the maker. Height 20 inches
