Clock-peddler table clock - cast iron - 1950-1960

A clockwork little clockmaker figurine in very good condition from the Black Forest. Completely original, and the painting on his clothing is strikingly beautiful. The clock runs for one day and is wound with a small key. The plaque on the clock is in mint condition and is hand-painted, showing flowers and a small sailing boat with Roman numerals. The movement runs perfectly and therefore needs to be wound once a day. They are certainly decorative and distinctive, and the clockmaker carries two weights and holds a staff in his hand. The key is included. They fit into any interior and are also decorative to look at. Carefully shipped to European countries only.

The story behind it is this: in the Black Forest, clockmakers once roamed about (much like knife sharpeners). They earned their living by selling and repairing clocks. However, they disappeared with the rise of clock shops. A small factory (JvE) then produced the clockmakers in the mid-1950s as a remembrance, cast figurines with a one-day movement on the chest, featuring various hand-painted dials.
