This old fellow is nicely carved and carries 6 clocks upon his back and a seventh in this right arm that actually works. The whistling on this particular unit is a little weak, just 2 notes repeated over and over. The dial itself has been touched up in the sky area above the little chalet. In crisper condition, we've gotten $1700 for these. This clock last sold in our Oct 2001 sale, lot 598 for $1100+ Height 13 1/2"
