The case is in excellent condition and retains a soft luster to the original finish with some minor scratches. The dials are original with only minor loss. The sunk seconds bit has a paper dial that has darkened somewhat. The hands are original. The movement is signed. The calendar drum papers have age and may be original. The door glass and Fashion insignia are original. The pendulum bob is very nicely damascened. The labels inside the case are in very good condition.The clock has a bell which differs from examples shown in Ly's book on calendar clocks which have a gong. Calendar mechanism will need to be reattached to the upper movement.
