The original paper dials are in very good condition with an expected degree of aging. The calendar drum papers are original and nicely aged. The hands are all original. The finials are original and in excellent condition. The metal structure to hang the pendulum rod from the interior top of the case is missing. The door glass is original. The two wafer thin cast iron weights are original. The case interior bears the following inscription: "No. 1516, 4-80". The movement was made for Ithaca by E. N. Welch.
