the movement is unsigned, but it matches the one found on page 38 of Ly's Gilbert book. The polished mahogany case is in good shape overall with small splits by the center door hinge and lower left base. The top of the case is missing, as is the decorative base backing board. The red lettering on the dial featuring the "Drink Coca-Cola" trademark is fading and the white background shows some staining. The black paint is flaking on upper glass and the gold painting has been retouched on both upper and lower glasses. Only fragments of rear paper remain. Height 32"
