BLACK FOREST TRUMPETER CLOCK FOR RESTORATION
THIS IS A VERY LARGE CLOCK THE HEIGHT IS JUST UNDER 3 FEET AND THE WIDTH IS 19 INCHES AT BASE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT NEEDS WORK. THE FRONT DOORS ARE MISSING AND THE SOLDIER HAS GONE, THE BACK BOARD NEEDS REPLACING AND ALSO THE TRUMPETS. I AM NOT TOO SURE WHAT IS MISSING FROM THE MOVEMENT AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE BUT WHEN I HANG THE WEIGHTS ON, IT TICKS AWAY FINE AND ALSO CHIMES ON THE GONG. THE LEVER THAT OPERATES THE SOLDIER MOVES. THE HANDS ARE BEAUTIFULLY CARVED BONE BUT I THINK SOMEONE TOUCHED THEM UP BUT CAN BE EASILY RECTIFIED, AS YOU CAN APPRECIATE THIS IS AN OLD CLOCK CIRCA 1880, AND A VERY RARE CLOCK AND WOULD BE EXTEMELY VALUABLE WHEN RESTORED. IF YOU STUDY THE PICTURES DO NOT HESITATE TO E-MAIL ME AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM WITH MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE.
MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING.
