MINIATURE CONGREVE ROLLING BALL 24K Mini English William Congreve Rolling Ball Clock with Front Door & Storage Here is a beautiful miniature Congreve rolling ball clock. It's one of the smallest you can find. The first Congreve clock is invented by an English - Sir W. Congreve in 1808 and it's valued over $10,000 if you can find one. This one comes with display base and protective dome. The glass dome has solid brass frames and front door for easy access to the clock. The base has a storage drawer for the winding key or anything else. The clock is made of heavy solid brass. The time shows on 3 separated porcelain dials - second, minute, and hour. The clock is driven by a week duration fusee cable movement. It is really fun to watch this clock running. The small steel ball is rolling back and forth on the lower platform with a zigzag track. When the ball reaches the end of the table, it triggers the lever and the platform instantly tilts. Then the steel ball starts to roll back to the other end. It takes the steel ball 12 seconds to roll from one side to the other. The complete clock is 16" tall and 11" by 10-1/2" wide. This clock comes with a adjustable display stand, so the clock will work perfectly even the surface is not. This is a very rare miniature Congreve rolling ball clock, which you just don't see anywhere else. Make sure you don't miss this profitable item for your collection or store display. All winding clocks come with their key. Domestic SHIPPING Method: All domestic shipment will be sent via UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail.
