Rosewood veneered case in nice condition in original finish with a small veneer chip on the top left side back edge and the base right side back edge. Original dial has been repainted. Tablet is original. Clean label inside case. The unusual thing about this clock is the movement should have an outboard alarm, but there is no indication this case ever had one. The movement appears to be original to the case as there are no extra mounting holes. Maybe it left the factory that way and was sold without the alarm installed. Ht 17.75"
