Not a bad mahogany veneer case, 27 inches high, original round feet, 4 original cone finials, some veneer loose and a few small places to patch. The two glasses are question marks. The middle may be original and rebacked, and the bottom looks good but could be a replacement. It has heavy cardboard with several small nails holding it. I choose not to tear it all apart just to check on the glass. If you are going to restore the clock you will probably get two new glasses any-way. There is no label, dial might be original but the holes changed to accommodate the Gilbert movement under it now. Also there is a Gilbert gong. A movement for this case could be in our next auction.
