The rosewood veneered case is almost perfect with a just small chip on the back edge of the left side and a little damage to ripple molding on the right corner of the base. The original dial is faded and has paint loss around the edges, the winding holes and a chip in the center. The upper glass is original, while the lower repro tablet is a cut heart on frosted glass (nicely done and difficult to tell from an original). The hands and ivory knob are original. The movement is signed by the maker. Height 19.75 inches
