Description
The case has age cracks in the dial mask, a little loss on the side of the left foot and worm holes that are usually found in clock cases from the continent. The unsigned engraved chapter has lost its silvering, now a coppery color; the outer dial is thin pressed brass over an iron back, as was the style at this time. Access to the case is through a sliding rear door. The brass movement has the number E1508 stamped on the lower corner, probably an inventory number; the movement has seen abuse and had holes closed crudely with a punch and needs proper bushing; grease and oil have seized. Height 10.5 inches
