Catalog Description:

W. S. Johnson, New York mini ripple front with a "Large 8 day Time and Strike Movement". I have never seen such a large movement in such a small case, (16 1/2 inches) that barely fits the case, but it is running. Original zinc dial with good paint Full label on the backboard, very nice original glass, some flaking on the border. The backboard is age cracked, certain not unusual. A piece of cardboard was glued to the backboard? The light wood you see above the door is Bubba's attempt to patch some veneer chips with wood putty, but he didn't stain the wood putty adequately. Will I ever get him trained. Ripple around the door will require a minimum of attention. Wallowed out screw holes on the dial and door hinges, is the worst thing I see.
