Condition: in need of some restoration, the top wooden bezel has been replaced with a new piece of mahogany (a sanitary job). The bottom of the case has gotten damp and is now absent veneer. The carved "ears" are original and very nice, with grapes and grape leaves. The movement has shaped plates, and is clean, with cable drive. The painted dial is odd, done in 3 colors, the top and side numerals in Red and the first two initials in Red and the B in Birmingham in red; have not seen this combination before. Height 28 inches
