(1) Nickel plating on case is dirty and worn through in places. A segment of the bezel's edge was cut off on the right side and hasp is missing as a consequence. Silvered dial is slightly darkened. Minute hand, seconds bit, and rate adjustment pointer are absent. The movement ticks and stops. A rare clock that could use some mechanical and cosmetic attention. (2) Heavy brass case has a very dark original patina. Silvered dial is in good condition with a hint of tarnish. Glass is loose. Movement ticks. Dimensions are for the master clock.
