Description

Condition: excellent restored condition, clean and running. Examples shown in Derek Robert's book on Mystery and Novelty clocks have their globes covered with stars, this has a few around the equator (see pages 123-130 for Robert's full discourse on Conical timekeeping). This is an uncommon model, the Huntress statue holding the globe. Note fancy engine turned dial center. Height 37 inches
