C.1880, F. Kroeber, New York, Patinated Spelter figural clock in excellent restored condition. This model depicting a child holding the clock aloft is hard to find in good condition, as the design is a bit fragile and most have suffered accidents or shipping damage. This one has been nicely cleaned and the movement set in order; it is running and striking just fine; the movement has the restrainer for the pendulum at bottom and is properly signed Kroeber. The cutout out dial mask retains most of its original gilding; the paper dial underneath has turned a bit tan with age. A nice clock. Height 24.5 inches
