Condition: Mahogany case in very nice condition with an old finish. Bottom tablet is old and unusual, however the throat glass is a later replacement in the same style (well done). Original painted dial is showing its age with some minor paint loss at the mounting pins. The latches are the type that appear on his banjo cases. Dial door has a couple of age splits. The door and latch were rotated 90 degrees because of some damage at the original hinge location. Hands look to be replacements (are hand cut and OK). Weight is original and is marked "HT" (as shown in Mr. Foley's book). Finial is old and could be original. Ht. 33"
