There is some wear to the face of the jester. The dial has a couple of hairline cracks, but this is a wonderful little novelty that does not turn up often. Ticks and alarms in lively fashion (jester wags the bell in his left hand). Note: original bell broke off and has been replaced with a toy bell that looks OK. Compare to lot 333 in April 2001 sale which sold for $2000+. Height 111/2Ó $1,200-$1,400
