This immaculate Scottie/Terrier
wooden J. Oswald clock was professionally repaired, cleaned and oiled by
Benjamin & Sons Clock Service Center.
There are no cracks, chips, scratches or mars on the clock and it has

Some of the clocks made after 1950 were made of resin but this one is
wood so it was made between 1926 and 1949
