Overall very good condition. Glass insert to trunk later. Working condition movement with highly unusual dial with typical oxidation to surface (see image #5). There are scattered repairs/patches to veneer - not distracting. The base has a vertical crack center (see image #8) as well as left front leg not affecting stability or balance.
