the cast figure depicts a fireman with a rescued child in his arms. There is some loss to the finish and color on the case. Back of the case is pressed in somewhat towards the center of the base and is interfering with the pendulum. Porcelain dial is perfect and hands are period. This same model, but including 2 sidepieces sold at Fontaines just over a year ago for $2,750. Height 17.5 inches
