AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A little clockwork man in very good condition, from the Black Forest,
The item is in completely original condition, and the painting on its clothing is strikingly beautiful.
The clock runs for one day and is wound with a small key.
The picture on the clock is in good condition, is hand-painted, and shows flowers, with Roman numeral markings.
The timepiece runs perfectly and therefore needs to be wound once a day.
They are certainly decorative and also striking, and the clock man wears two weights and pine cones (for cuckoo clocks) and has a stick in his hand.
A small key is included.
They fit in with any interior and are also decorative to look at.
Carefully shipped to exclusively European countries.
Here's the story behind it.
In the Black Forest there used to roam clockmakers, (like knife sharpeners).
They earned their living from selling and repairing watches.
However, they disappeared with the rise of clock shops.
A small factory (JvE) produced the clockmen in the mid-1950s as a keepsake, in various characters. Cast figurines with a one-day clockwork on the chest, with different hand-painted dials.
