Condition: bottom dial was inked by a good artist onto paper and pasted over the original pan maybe 50 years ago. His glue reacted with the zinc and has bubbled under the paper. Top dial has been cleaned, but still original, showing 1876 patent date. Two side trims are replaced with mahogany instead of walnut. Although the book shows this model for $1600, we sold the sister to this in the Nov 2008 auction for $500. We think this one is a bit better than that one. Good label inside door. Height 25 inches
