AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A clockwork little man in very good condition, from the Black Forest,
Completely original and this one has the top hat.
The painting on his clothing is remarkably beautiful to say the least.
The clock runs for one day and is wound with a small key.
The dial on the clock is hand-painted and shows flowers and a little house with a tree and bears a Roman numeral marking.
The timepiece runs perfectly and therefore needs to be wound once a day.
Decorative for sure and also striking, and the clockman wears a small weight and has a stick in his hand
The key (original) is included.
They fit into any interior and are also decorative to look at..
Carefully shipped to exclusively European countries.
The story behind it is this.
In the Black Forest there used to roam clockmakers (just like knife sharpeners).
They earned their living selling and repairing timepieces.
They disappeared, however, with the rise of clock shops.
a small factory (JvE) then, in the mid-1950s, produced the clockmen as a memory in different characters. cast figurines with a one-day movement on the chest, with various hand-painted dials.
