Original Listing Description

eBay You are getting the exact item pictured. Please look closely at the picture pictures for your own opinion. Any damage not pictured will be described. I am the second owner of this rare 100 year anniversary clock. The previous owner has left us sadly. This keeps perfect time for the 8 day period. The weights are heavy and weigh about 3 pounds each. The tip of the pendulum rod is bent. I don't know if this was done at the factory for a perfect place, rather the previous owner did it or if it was an accident. Should straighten easily if you want to do it. The animated scene is a little dusty but works perfectly. The man sews a stitch with each pendulum movement and his wife hits him on the head with a rolling pin on the hour for the correct hour number of times. The face is a little darkened perhaps from age. There are a very few age related hairlines along each side in the painted surface and at the top and bottom of the face. These don't go into the wood and are paint hairlines only. I would recommend a proper cleaning of the movement and animated top if possible. Runs great as is but probably has not been serviced in a long time. I also have all the paperwork and shipping invoices the man got when he ordered it in 1996. Included is a letter from the man who made the movement, Ingolf Haas and his wife Conny Haas who did all the painting on the clock. This paperwork will be included in the shipping box. I have added lots of closeup pictures for your viewing pleasure. There is also a VIDEO of the clock running and striking. The chains have been put in bags and zip tied shut. The spring in the back has been wrapped and the pendulum hanger has been secured inside the back also. Pictures of these things are shown and a note about removing the wraps will be in the box. This will be a large and heavy box as the weights and pendulum weigh about 6 pounds and the clock body weighs about 5 pounds. I use extreme care when packaging and wrapping items. This is a stunning piece of art and a great addition to any collection or any wall. I will ship outside the USA but I use eBay Global Shipping Program only, no exceptions.
