Description
The chrome plated brass case has wear and scratches on the screw bezel. The signed dial is in very good condition with original hands (dial is mostly polished to brass). The beveled glass in the bezel is fine. The movement was made by either Waltham or Chelsea, but we could not get in far enough to see the markings. A metal plate has been epoxied to the rear plate of the movement to protect the escapement; this would not have been needed in a dash mount installation, but it is now very effective at keeping small fingers out of the movement. Set stem is present, but needs a knurled cap to assist in setting time. Interesting item for the fire apparatus crowd. Height 4.5 inches
