Condition Report
The desk calendar is in fair condition commensurate with age and use. The silver case displays general marks, scratches and tarnishing to the whole. The calendar window is beginning to cloud but the dates are currently visible. The numbering and lettering are loosing detail on some areas but are overall clear and crisp. The varnish on wood is beginning to ware along contact areas and where the silver face meets the case, most likely due to over polishing. The wood is slightly worn and pitted along high points. The coating on the base of the watch is peeling of the wood and wearing thin. All four winders controlling the calendar are stiff but engaging and working correctly. Maker's mark and hallmark are a little rubbed but clear and legible.
