Description
This case originally had profuse decoration with clear and blue glass brilliants, which have all been replaced with an aqua color simulated turquoise. Perhaps this belonged to a Navajo. Note these decorations appear around the portrait on the pendulum, the bezel and on the case uprights. The settings have all been strained with this change, although the stones appear to be firmly glued in place. The well-made rack striking movement sounds the hours on a coiled gong, and is in running order. Note one side glass with edge chips. Height 11 1/2"
