DESCRIPTION:
Chauncey Goodrich, Forestville, Conn., miniature empire COLUMN AND CORNICE, 8 day [spring] time and gong strike
CONDITION:
retains original tablets, however lower glass is nearly half flaked off. Center glass of white house is just starting to flake in center, but can be stabilized. The overall finish is original including crazed black on columns. The gilding on capitals was perhaps touched up long ago, however their is wear and some faults with what you see -- the flash makes it look very bright. Original dial and signature are excellent, also nice hands. Nice label inside case.
