24 October 2024
Period cast iron case with remains of original paint. The movement in the case is of the proper type, but most likely came out of wood case as there is evidence that the movement originally had mounting tabs. The eyes are not original. The brass bezel looks to be period, but is now mounted to a dial pan made of aluminum. Hands are period. Ht 15 1/2"
