Description
This is an uncommon clock here in the States, although we have seen several in Europe. The 30 hour timepiece movement has a gear out the back with 4 fingers (2 missing) which simply tip down a rod attached to the head, which is suspended by string, thus causing it to bob slightly. A similar arrangement for the tail is missing, but restorable. Other than missing the tail, his body is sound, with original gray flocked finish (some nicks and scrapes). Clockwork animals of all sorts occur from this time period, but this one incorporates a clock, which adds to the appeal. Dial is porcelain. This were used as window displays. Height 8.5 inches
