Germany Shelf

Catalog Description:

C.1900, German "MONK" Alarm Clock in very good original condition. The painted spelter case is made of two symmetrical halves that are screwed together, and the finish is dirty and worn. The monk retains his original paint (with wear); his right arm is hinged and with a cord going up to the alarm bell. A lever from the movement rings the bell in the belfry and moves his arm at the same time, with the appearance that he is ringing the bell. The white porcelain dial has hairline cracks (no pieces missing). One day movement is dirty, but you can coax it into ringing the bell. An interesting novelty; worth taking time to clean movement; we had a gilded one of these in the Nov-99 sale, lot 273 $1150. Potential here. Height 14" Reserve $750
