An interesting ebonized case is nice condition in original finish with pagoda top and French feet. The original Birge & Mallory painted wood dial has some burn marks behind the number 12 on the dial that resulted in paint damage. The dial's sliding mirror is missing, but original hands are present. An original Birge & Mallory backboard with label and gong has been fitted to the case. The tablet is by Tom Moberg. Weights are inside the case as there is no room to remove them.
