Condition: The mahogany case is in excellent condition with an old finish. The three glasses are original held in with their original wood strips. The two geometric glasses have matching colors (white and green) and have lost some of their background. The lower glass has lost much of its black border. The label is complete and in excellent condition. The dial has its original paint with some restoration mostly on the right side near the numbers 3 and 4. The hands are period. There is a minor repair to both chains where they attach to the wagon spring, but has no effect on its operation. A similar clock at the last sale brought $6,000. Height 26 inches
