If you are handy at making a small figure you can restore a valuable clock. Refer to Oct '96, lot 334-a, for what figure should look like (a small cardboard cutout). The case and movement are otherwise in good condition, and the arms of the gymnast are intact and turning. Two small side moldings missing from case (1/4 inches flat easy to make). Worth $800 of complete. Height 15 inches
