C.1851, French, Japy, Paris, Mini Alarm Skeleton Clock, less dome, but otherwise in very good original condition. There is a tiny chip in the dial porcelain just below the numeral 3, and a hairline at the same point; dial is signed Hatton a Paris , (the dealer). Otherwise it is in exceptional condition, with original velvet cover on base. These souvenir alarm clocks were made in a couple of frame styles, this one with a wide inverted "Y", to show off the alarm bell between the plates (versus the model above, lot 321), and the frame with Japy Medaille D'Or imprint. See glassdomes.com for possible dome. Silk thread suspension. Height 8"
