AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Automa clock/watch timer manufactured in Germany.
This type of clocks was produced at the end of the 1800s and they are very difficult to find on the market.
They were clocks with a mechanism that made it look like a car, it moved the tail and the ears.
In this case only the external dog-shaped structure is put up for auction.
THE internal mechanism is not present, therefore clocks with the mechanism, tail and tongue are missing.
Extremely difficult to find even just the external structure.
The last photograph serves as an indication to see a complete clock currently for sale.

COUNTRY OF PRODUCTION: Germany
ATTRIBUTION BRAND: not indicated
CONDITION: Excellent — This vintage/antique piece is in original condition.

MATERIAL: Guusa
WIDTH: 17 cm
