although perhaps 3/4 of the case is old and original, its condition on being found mandated extensive restoration. The area that supports the dial and movement has been reinforced [see detail photo]. On the top, the board that carries the hemisphere and 4 finials is new. Most of the the base had to be remade. The waist section holding the finial is old and the brass grate is old.
