standing on a cotton bale, and with an anchor in her left hand and a horn of plenty below her feet. This statue may have had a larger swinging arm at one time, but it certainly works for this one. The Swiss arm in excellent order, with most of original gilding intact and with excellent porcelain dial. Unlike other swinging arms, this one is designed to beat seconds and it truly is mystifying to watch. Length of arm 8.5Ó; overall Height 19Ó $800-$1000
