the old finish will benefit from some wax or polish, but has only a few small veneer chips and age cracks. About half of the original paper labels remain inside and on the back. The painted metal dial, somewhat crudely lettered for a Canadian firm, has some flaking. Glasses are old; top glass has a small chip and the lower one retains its black/gold border. Movement should be cleaned. Ht 24 1/2"
