the original lacquered brass patina on this all-brass case, with hinged bezel, has dulled but still looks good. The dial, showing the famous retailer name, has some scratches, tarnish, and losses in the number blacking. The movement, serial number 191324, strikes but ticks only briefly; the wood bottom has the same number. Ht 9.25"
