AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hermain pigeon clock – Bakelite

Authentic mechanical pigeon clock from the Hermain brand, made in bakelite. These clocks were used in pigeon racing to accurately register the arrival time of racing pigeons during competitions.

When a pigeon returned home, the bird's ring was placed in the clock, after which the mechanism recorded the exact time on a paper roll. This system formed the standard in organized pigeon racing for many years.

The bakelite housing gives the clock a characteristic look typical of sporting instruments from the mid-20th century. Hermain was known for its reliable and sturdy clocks, which were used by many pigeon enthusiasts and associations.

Today these pigeon clocks are beloved collectibles within the sport of pigeon racing and are of interest as historical mechanical instruments.
