The case has an older finish and is in excellent condition. The painted upper dial has a newer paper dial pasted over and toned down with varnish or stain. The hands are original. The movement is unsigned but is correct for this model. The interior label has some loss, but the Lewis calendar label is excellent. The upper glass appears to be newer while the lower glass and the calendar dial are original. Ht 33".
