The rosewood veneer is especially attractive; the top of the case is a little shiny for a maid dusting it weekly, but the finish is clearly original with 130 years of age and crazing. The dial has some paint loss around the center from fingers setting the alarm disc. The bottom "E. Pluribus Unum" tablet is original with considerable loss to the eagle. The gilt side columns are original with white gesso showing in several places. The interior label is outstanding. Overall a cute and good example of this model. 30-hor, time/alarm. Height 13.25 inches
