Description
The mahogany veneered case is in nice condition with original finish. There is some veneer damage on the outer band of the case, along with some patching of the veneer. There is some veneer damage on the sides as well. The original painted dial has some fading of the flower decoration and paint loss around the winding arbors and the mounting pins. Both glasses are original. The decal tablet has losses and flaking and is an image of Magdalen College, Germany. The 30 hour striking movement is of Kirk's patent design. The label, with about 30% loss, is dark, but readable. Extra holes in back where gong was moved. Still a decent example of a spring OG, Height 26 inches
