The top opens and latches as it should. There are no dents and the glass clock face is intact and clear. We tested this and found the clock not to be operational when wound. However, the alarm does sound when you. Move the hands to where the alarm is set. The exterior has some tarnish and a small amount of specks of white paint. There is also some staining on the bottom.
