Condition - Rosewood veneered case with maple banding is in very nice condition with an old and possibly original finish. The top is a resin casting of an original (Merritts borrowed the original from Bill and made 500 of these). Original porcelain with a piecrust bezel has a hairline crack in the center and with a chip at the winding hole. Roman numerals are Royal blue in color. Hands are original. A small piece of wood that fits behind the right upper applied trim is missing, but is an easy repair. Case will need thumbscrew stabilizers for bottom. Height 41 inches
