Description from the seller
The set consists of 4 iconic pieces:
“Candlestick” dial telephone: A reproduction of a vintage telephone with a detachable receiver and a cloth-covered cord (slightly worn, which adds realism).
Beam balance scale (Pesalettere weighing scale): Equipped with an upper plate and a movable counterweight. It is one of the most detailed models in the series.
Pendulum clock (Grandfather Clock): Characterized by a raised-relief decoration with a fish on the base and a legible dial.
Table clock with bells: An antique-style alarm clock with two bells on top and Roman numerals on the dial.
Key features:
Material: Heavy die-cast metal (zamak) with a copper/bronze finish.
Details: Moving parts present (telephone dial, scale, visible pendulum).
Dimensions: height varies between 5 cm and 9 cm (as visible from the ruler in the photos).
Condition: Good, 'lived-in' condition. They have a natural patina of time that enhances their vintage style. The pencil sharpener is built into the base or the back of each piece.
