The black leatherette cladding shows lovely age appropriate patina in uniform Edgeware. The geometric Bellows maintain structurally sound, crisp folds. The front circular face plate is wonderfully bright, reflective, and illegible. Metal components and struts maintain a bright finish with a warm, authentic antique luster. Note: sold explicitly as an exquisite, collectible, historical, artifact, and decorative interior design piece. Mechanical accuracy and inner light-tightness are untested. less
