Condition: the case has been refinished; there are some corner losses to the veneer on the base; the original dial has some flakes. The tablet of a robin is outstanding. Good, full label inside case has darkened some, but is still fully legible. Clean and running. These are commonly rosewood, but this one is walnut with burl on the front surface. For info on this and other Atkins clocks, see Gregory's treatise titled The Clocks of Irenus Atkins, page87. Height 18 inches
