Top glass repainted; no seconds hand. Well detailed paw feet are original, as is the interior wall paper and a great label. Despite a couple of scratches, the original dial is outstanding. Has all 4 original signed lead pulleys. Movement is stamped No. 90. Reverse painted vertical strips are just starting to flake. Details on Mungers partnership with Thaddeus Benedict may be found in the book: "An Empire in Time". Height 39 inches
