Description

The case is in excellent condition and the interior of the case is stamped "Bradley & Hubbard Patent Applied For 1858". The painted surface is largely original with very minor restoration in several areas. The paper dial is original and shows wear. The hands are original. The original brass bezel shows the actual patent date of May 10, 1859. The pendulum bob is not original. Overall, an excellent example of this scarce model.
