Description
The figure has a brown overcoat, a red and white polka dot tie, and a black top hat. The clockwork whistling mechanism is wound with a key from the rear, and the head turns from side to side while he whistles. This particular clock has the Karl Griesbaum insignia on the bottom battery cover, plus the rear of the base and again on the metal lantern. The mechanism is wired so that the light in the lantern blinks while the man whistles, however we cannot ascertain whether that portion still works (it looks intact). There is some discoloration to the paint on the base, but overall the paint is excellent. Height 19"
