Condition: Rosewood veneered case is in very nice condition with an original finish. Case has a couple of minor veneer chips and an age crack on the top. The bezels retain their original grain painting. The gilt columns are now painted gold (done long ago and discolored). The little knob for opening the lower door is gone, and the brass clip and the knob will need to be replaced. Upper dial has paint loss and someone tried to restore some of the numbers. Lower dial is fine. Hands are original. Clean label inside. Height 18 inches
