Condition Report & Restoration Notes

• Face/Graphic: The enamel front displays very well with excellent colors. There are a few spots where paint is missing on the upper black perimeter area (clearly shown in the close-up photos).
• Clock Dial & Interior: The central clock face shows uniform aging and light discoloration. There is a small amount of loose debris trapped inside the clock that needs to be cleaned out.
• Internal Glass / Bulbs: Please Note: There are some broken internal neon bulbs on this piece. Loose broken glass can be seen and heard rattling around inside the case.
