24 October 2024
the case, probably made specially for the Boston retailer, retains a dark old finish, and is missing a small wood strip at the bottom of the back. The silvered dial has some tarnish and wear to the numbers. The movement ticks, but the strike is jammed and will need attention. The gong post is broken at its threaded base, and the movement needs to be properly secured in the case. Ht 10 in
