of a "Schoolboy with Satchel" is signed Aug. Moreau, and retains original patina in excellent condition. The miniature arm has a ball only 2.3 inches in diameter, and with a tiny clock movement with pendulum. Someone at some time cut a slot in the rear hemisphere, apparently misunderstanding the time adjustment and adding a section to the internal pendulum to slow it down. This has been corrected and the clock runs OK now. Height 12 inches
