22 October 2024
Condition: Refinished mahogany and rosewood veneered case in nice condition with a couple of small chips on the bottom edge. Original painted dial has paint loss around the winding arbors and some touchup at the mounting screws. The hour hand is an old replacement; doesn't quite match. Tablet is original. The case must have been loose and someone in an attempt to re-glue it misaligned one the octagon sections on the left side. The movement is an unsigned New Haven, which is why we attribute it to that firm as there is no label in the case. Ht 24" [60.9 cm]
