Condition: Refinished mahogany veneered case in good condition with some minor veneer loss and repairs. Original painted dial is very nice for its age with a little wear around the winding arbors. Mirror is a replacement. Hands are modern replacements. Hour hand needs a tin sleeve soldered on it (for it to grasp the hour pipe). Retains nice original embossed alarm disc + alarm weight. Label a bit dark with tears and losses. Height 26 inches [66 cm]
