Catalog Description:

Mixed lot: C.1890, Japy Bell Strike movement, now in a French porcelain case of the same period. The case was made for a gong movement and has an empty gong hole in the base board. The case is quite nice, profusely decorated with multi colored daisies, with sky blue and gold accents. There is normal wear on the gilt highlights, but otherwise the case is fine, with no cracks. The porcelain dial is good except for a small chip at the strike winding hole; hands original; the steel bell is from an American alarm clock and too deep for this use; pendulum a replacement; movement does tick and is mechanically sound but dirty. The movement is worth 100 dollars and the case is worth at least 100 dollars, hence out estimate. Height 13.5 inches
