case with original finish. Two long vertical cracks in backboard have been glued. Movement and dial have be remounted with some wood added to the worn holes. Tip of center finial has been repaired. Door glass is an old replacement. Paper dial is replaced. Very nice signed example of Kroeber's Pendulum with black background and graduated scale for rate adjustment. The signed movement features an interesting half-deadbeat verge -- the type in which only the exit pallet has a separate impulse face. Rear paper label clearly shows the make and model.
