Cast-iron table-clock Klokkenmannetje from the 1950s–1960s in the Black Forest style, with a one-day mechanism and an original winding key, in good used condition.
Description from the seller
A clockwork little man in very good condition, from the Black Forest. In completely original condition and he wears a top hat.
The painting on his clothing is strikingly beautiful.
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 thus needs to be wound once a day.
They are certainly decorative and striking, and the clock man carries a small weight and holds a walking 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, clockmakers once roamed about (like razor grinders).
They earned their living selling and repairing timepieces.
However, they disappeared with the rise of clock shops.
A small factory (JvE) then, in the mid-1950s, produced the clock little men in various characters as keepsakes — cast figurines with a one-day clockwork on the chest, with different hand-painted dials.
