Description
The original paper dial has taken on a fairly uniform darker shade. The paper dial lists a patent date of 1878. The nickel cannister is somewhat tarnished, but in good condition. Some very small number have been inscribed on the back cover. The point an the end of the pendulum is absent. Both figures have good original patinated finishes. Standard enameled iron base is in good condition with gold paint within the recessed design. The movement appears to be correct, but is not signed. Occasionally, the trademark stamp is located on the less accessible front plate of the movement. A nice example.
