The refinished mahogany veneered case is exceptionally nice with some minor damage around the door lock. The veneer along the base has been expertly replaced. The original signed wood dial is missing one brass grommet and has some dark stains. The hands and lower tablet are original (nice cut & frosted lyre). The upper glass is original, and was taken out and reset when the case was refinished. The case houses a repeating strike 2<SUP>nd</SUP> version of Kirk's patent brass plate movement with brass springs enclosed in iron cups. The label is clean and readable. Height 19 inches
