Mahogany case in an old finish has some age cracks and repairs on the throat door molding. The bottom door has some minor damage on the bottom molding corners. There is a crack in the head at the number 4 position on the dial. The bottom left side panel has some damage on the bottom edge. Both tablets have age, but are likely replacements. Original painted dial has some loss at the mounting pins and a small area on the outer edge. Dial is mounted to the case with two L-turns. Movement was originally mounted to the case with two screws. It is now mounted with a center screw through the backboard.
