French windmill clock, ca. 1900? The painted metal case is 17 inches tall; the windmill vanes are painted balsa wood. The porcelain dial has several large cracks, most noticeably at the 9 position, but is stable. The 8-day, pendule de Paris has a die-stamp and logo that I do not recognize (but fortunately, John Dyall did – it is the stamp of Eugene Farcot, “a very reputable name in French clocks”. Thanks John!). It is running but I’m not sure the strike is initiating. The strike is driven by a separate movement that also turns the windmill while the clock strikes. Both wind separately. I can trigger the strike by hand. An interesting clock, but you’ll need to get it working properly. $250–$1000.
