AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The delivery person, Black Forest watch carrier
Many cuckoo clocks were manufactured in the Black Forest during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The street vendors sold them in villages; a profession that ended with the opening of shops where watches could be purchased.
The most famous place is Triberg, which became the center of the watch industry.
Many bell-ringing models are made of tin, iron, and wood.
In the early 1950s, a small factory was established in Triberg that produced wristwatches as souvenirs.
They were fused into separate elements of zama* and received the J.v.E. marking as a brand. The parts were painted in different colors. A bell was attached to the postman's chest.
The front part of this watch is 6.6 cm wide and 9.5 cm high, and the back of the watch case is 3.2 cm deep.
Photographs are an integral part of the description. The hand has been repaired.
The watch has a daily movement and is without a chime.
Both the crank and the key are missing.
The bell on the man's back is decorative and made of lead.
The delivery person is 39 cm tall, the base measures 20 x 12 cm, and weighs 2.5 kg.
Zamak is a registered trademark for a group of alloys whose main component is zinc.
Alloys have a relatively low melting point and can be easily cast.
