23 October 2024
Condition: Hard rubber case in very nice clean restored condition. These models were originally painted black to imitate the enameled iron cases popular at the time, which made for a much lighter case that could be molded in one piece and be less costly to ship. The gilding in the incised decoration is worn. Dial has some loss to the gilding surrounding the numbers. Hands are original. Premium nickel plated movement with spring covers is signed and has recently been professionally serviced and is running briskly; minor note: pendulum is replaced. Height 11.5 inches
