Description
Movement is original 30 day double spring. The walnut case has been nicely refinished and the dials have been re-papered, and with some stains from use. The rollers covers on the calendar mechanism are original. The fretted dial surround has some repairs, and looks proper to us, however, we point out that it has been painted black on the rear, (and we offer detail foto showing view from rear). Rear dust cover is replaced; bottom 6" trim replaced. We have sold 2 of these in the past 5 years; the most notable of course was in April 2001, which fetched $9000. The restorations keep this estimate a bit lower. Height 52 inches
