Condition: the case has an old finish. The very top half inch of the cornice should have a strip of mahogany veneer that is missing and has been stained to match. The movement is properly signed. The original signed dial has extra holes where a repairman tried to gain extra "purchase" on the upright. Label is a bit faded, but fully legible; missing a chunk, lower right corner. Best parts are the FABULOUS original tablets. This is the rarest of the 3 sizes. Height 28 inches
