The case with integral columns to the hood is a relatively rare survivor being of pine painted to look like mahogany and for its type is in excellent original condition, it is slender, has a long door and has a typical caddy on the hood which is characteristic of period, maker and place.

The thirty hour is of birdcage design with turned brass columns and strikes the hours on a bell.
