The case is nice with a crusty old finish, probably brushed over with light varnish long ago. There are a couple of minor veneer chips on the base. The original wooden dial is very nice with a very small piece missing at around 3 o'clock. The strap brass movement is signed. The three glasses are original. The middle glass ("Croton Fountain, NY"), has minor flaking, while the lower glass is almost perfect. The hands are original. Height 32.75 inches
