The cast case is in very good condition. There are some fine scratches to the gilt finish on the base. Front and back beveled glasses as well as cylindrical glass around the movement are all good. The silver on the dial is yellowing on the upper right side. There is some dirt and wear around the winding arbor hole. Very nicely made hands. The small lever that comes through the dial to adjust the rate is absent, but this can be done from the back of the clock. The movement is signed and stamped with the serial number 13473B.
