Catalog Description:

19th Century, Japan, Shitan Wood Pillar, Mini weight driven timepiece, Meiji Period, incomplete dial. The original movement with balance/verge escape, also skeletonized, engraved front plate. Typical of most Japanese clocks, the "dial" or time scale has movable numerals to compensate for the changing daylight hours, however this one has only 8 time markers instead of a full set is 13 (dividing the day into 6 hours of daylight and 6 hours of darkness). Finally, the hood is only partially there, as the door that slides up to permit winding of the clock with the hood in place, is not there and was replaced with an oversize piece of glass. Still the small size makes this worth the effort to restore it; Height 11.75 inches
