AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Wooden chess clock from the brand GARDE RUHLA, which was already making clocks before World War II. At the bottom of the dial, it says MADE IN GERMANY, made in the German Democratic Republic, meaning it was produced in East Germany (in West Germany, they used 'Made in West Germany'), so before the fall of the Iron Curtain. Light brown GARDE clocks are the most beautiful GARDE chess clocks and date from the 1970s.

Both of the chess clock watches work perfectly, and they show no issues even after some time. Additionally, the clock looks just like new and has been hardly used.


This beautiful clock is carefully packaged and insured shipped.
