the ornate case, slightly different than the Ly illustration of this model, has its original surface with some tarnish and scratches. The glass in the rear door has a crack at one bottom corner. The signed double-sunk porcelain dial, with Gilbert's special rate adjuster, is fine, as is the simulated mercury pendulum. The minute hand needs straightening; one movement retaining screw needs to be refit (screw in bag with pendulum). Ht 12.5"
