Description

Condition: some dust and dirt has settled into the porous bisque. Willie whistles ceaselessly on "Manual", however should whistle at the hour and halves on "Auto", and the strike contact in the movement is not engaging reliably. With original box, packing and instructions. Digital tune is on a chip in the base. Ht 15.5" [39cm]
