gilt trim on the canister is well preserved while the rods have lost most of the gilt from handling. The nickel plating on the canister is fairly worn. The statue is aged to a nice patina with the bronze finish being the best preserved on the support arm. On other areas it has worn off. It is our opinion that the dial paper was changed. There are a couple of very small paint chips on the base. Hands are original. Ht.24.5"
