C.1900, Swiss, Mobile Watch Co. "Oscillator" swinging mystery shelf clock
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
timepiece in very good original condition, statue signed Franier, Ed. A young lady in formal dress is bracing herself against the wind, and the clock is suspended from her right hand. Her petticoats are showing which must have been a suggestive thing at the time. This statue is heavy and feels like bronze, but is simply a heavy white metal casting with a heavy plating of copper and brass. Note the hour hand has been changed with another watch hand (looks OK); this is an 8-day clock. Height 11º"
