The old finish has been nicely polished to a soft gloss, and the glasses are correct although the bottom one has been out of the door. The weight has "4" cast into it, the painted metal dial has a strong signature and crazed surface. The signed movement is clean with a new brass weight cable. The brass pendulum bob shows engraved circles, but there is no tie-down, the pulley looks later, and the bottom baffle may be an old replacement. The lower door latch needs adjustment, and a SSN has been stamped into the top of the throat piece. Ht 32"
