The walnut case, with its use of burl, is in excellent condition with it original finish intact. The current dial is a paper dial which shows some discoloration. A painted dial would have been expected. The hands are original. The movement is signed. The door glass and stenciled design are original. The pendulum bob is beautifully damascened The case is dated February, 1885 (5881B): Overall one of the nicest Hecla models we have seen.
