Description
The rosewood veneer is in very nice condition with only minor bottom edge abrasion. The dial has been repainted over the original surface, and with minor flaking. The case retains it's original ivory knobs for bezel and lower door locks. Details on this model may be found in Ken Roberts' book on Ives, pages 286-288. Note the round movement is mounted in the later iron frame, deeply scrolled, fig 93b; someone has added an extra steel washer under the springs that does not belong there. Also note top 2 wheels in train are tinned steel; this is normal and for reduced friction in this long running movement. Height 25"
