Most of the label remains inside the case. This may well be the finest and most perfect case, any style, any maker, I have seen. The bottom tablet is original and I suspect the bob is also. The only negative to this marvelous case is a new paper dial. I think someone should spring for a painted dial. Movement is unsigned, 8 day time only, running. We oiled it before running a week or so. Brass not polished but I wouldn't, it would detract from the beautiful rosewood. There are some interesting things on the back of the case, particularly where the clock was first shipped.
