Condition: as-found, came from an old timer in Pennsylvania. The statue has lost much of its original finish, with oxidized spelter showing in many places, see her upturned apron holding the flowers she has picked. The arm was cleaned long ago, and the owner wanted to see the time clearly, so painted the bronze numerals and hands black; there are a couple of small dimples in the top ball. This is a nice size swing clock that will restore nicely. Height 35 inches [89cm]
