They remain in their original vintage condition, featuring a pronounced, authentic patina acquired over time. The Westclox shows normal wear and discoloration on the finish of the casing—around the perimeter and on the back cover—consistent with its age; this only enhances its historical character (please examine the photos carefully). All original winding keys and adjustment levers are present. The clocks are sold in "as found" condition. While the mechanisms appear complete and functional, a professional inspection or adjustment is recommended, as their timekeeping accuracy has not been recently tested. They exhibit signs of wear that are entirely consistent with their age. THE PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. Will be shipped in secure packaging.
