the 4 ads on the bottom roller have been attractively replaced. The Telechron clock movement seems to run OK, and with center seconds hand. The ad roller rotates every approx every 12 seconds to reveal the next ad and then pauses. Most of the silvering has rubbed off the embossed brass dial. The case has minor scrapes, but still retains original finish. Has good label on rear, protected under plastic. Height 21.5 inches
