Condition: The dial has been nicely restored. The light oak case appears to retain its original finish. The original month, day and date papers have darkened with age, mostly the day roller, but are excellent. A new piece of cardstock has been placed around the glass openings - that was originally gold leaf. Full information on Henry S. Prentiss and his unique patent mechanisms can be found in Tran Duy Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks, pages 216-221. Ht 37"
