Mr. Terwilliger used to get $800 for these 20 years ago, and we sold a gold tone one last October (lot 616) for $750+ There is a small chip in the dial at 3, and friction strike pad is missing. Also the spelter base has some cracks from being dropped at one time. Still a rare novelty item; ticks fine. Height 10"
