It must be rare, I have never had one of this model. The 13.5" high case is covered with rosewood veneer, needs some attention, not a lot of chips, just scuff marks, bumps, etc. Gold, and or silver, around the door is decomposed, I see both gold and silver remnants. Great original glasses, bottom with old paint. The bottom board is 1" thick, either stain or veneer is missing. You cannot feel that veneer is gone, strange. Excellent complete label, brass bob, gong, hands, and original painted dial. Apparently the dial was washed, it is faded but original paint is still distinguishable. 8 day movement, hourly strike. Ly-Gilbert, page 307.
