We had one of these in 2002, not as nice, that sold for $1900. Now there is wear to the paint on this clock from constant use over probably a 10 year period; paint around the wind and set stems is rubbed to metal, and some fine rust came through the paint from the owners left hand where he held the clock to wind it. Still the dial is outstanding, and there has never been an attempt to clean any of the dirt away and the patina is quite nice. Side of clock decorated with Wimpy and other Popeye characters. Height 4.75 inches
