Nice styling and design to the mahogany wood case, especially the unique scalloped edge base. The concave glass in the brass bezel is intact, no cracks or blistering. The case has wafer wood legs on it that look appropriate to the clock as well. The rear door is securely attached to the case.
We have only wiped down the wood case with Murphy's wood cleaner and orange oil, could still used a good cleaning to bring the original beauty of this piece out to its' full potential. Nice looking face on this clock. Silver colored with raised black roman numerals, some finish loss.
The clock hands match and look appropriate to the clock. Gold trim around the clock face. The hands to turn the strike on and off work as does the time adjustment component.

The movement has both a strike and chime on/off switches that are at the top of the clock face.
The five strike rods and hammers are in good shape. The three wind springs feel sound when keyed. The clock does strike and chime as expected.

Nice looking silver colored metal face with raised brass numbers. Notes the Miller Company on the face as well. The glass and brass bezel door over the clock face look great. The glass is not blistered or cracked. The bezel is firmly attached to the clock case by its' hinges. The bezel is made out of some sort of gold colored metal appears to be brass.
