Nice translucent dark red-brown and less translucent orange-yellow bakelite body. Both different color parts tested positive as bakelite with Simichrome polish (yellow marks on the cotton stick).

Both different color parts tested positive as bakelite with Simichrome polish (yellow marks on cotton stick). Size is about 3.7in (93mm) tall, 4.22in (107mm) wide, 2.2in (56mm) thickens (including back keys). Clock's machinery works for a while, then stops. It works for hours, othertime just for minutes.

No rust inside the mechanism that's made of brass. Few signs of wear due to it's age, but nothing serious. At a close inspection I would like to mention an inside crack into the bakelite body barely visible on the back face, lower, around the metallic base - check photo #11 please. Alarm works; the alarm turning key is not original.

Beautiful art deco 1930s piece. You should easily screw them back when you receive the item. ________________________________________ Please examine the photos for the overall cosmetic condition of the item.
