Description
Novelty alarm illustrated in La Pendule Francais, part 2, page 351. This is a nice example. Note the time is read (on the original dial strip) through a window in the base; there re 5 pillars, however the rear 2 are difficult to see in the photo. Uncommon to find this clock with original pendulum intact. Folks seem to be finding these in odd parts of the country; all we know is that Terwilliger was getting $350 for them 20 years ago, so they are certainly underpriced today. Height 7 inches
