The 6" terrestrial globe is very good, one small dimple in rear section, and a small stain on front hemisphere. Globe is signed by "Gilman Joslin, Boston, engraved by W.B.Annin". The mahogany case has been refinished, the acorns replaced (and painted gold), and the door over the minute dial is a replacement. The large circular hour dial around the globe is original, as is the movement and case hardware. Little brass time pointer at top has been re-made, and a bit large. movement is original. No label remaining. Height 28 inches
