Description
with mirror between the decks and above the dial. Veneer wise this Empire/ Middletown style case is in nice condition with some minor repairs and couple of chips on the base. The dial has numerous stretch cracks to the paint and couple of screw holes where someone tried to secure the dial (by 8 and 2). The hands are original. Early style short drop movement, with pinned hour hand. The mirrors are recent and specially made to appear antique (look great). The bone escutcheons have been replaced with wood. Otherwise complete and sound and an interesting case style. Very good label with central tear that matches crack in backboard. Height 33 inches
