    Description

    THIS CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF A LOCAL WATCH MAKER WITH NO HISTORY. IT STARTED LIFE AS A 1916 8 DAY WALTHAM AUTOMOBILE CLOCK THAT WAS AN AFTER MARKET ITEM FOR ANY CAR AS THEY WERE NOT EQUIPTED WITH CLOCKS BACK THEN.  AT SOME POINT, SOMEONE DID A SPLENDID JOB OF TURNING IT INTO A SHELF OR DESK CLOCK.  THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND ITEM AND THE FOLK-ART CRAFTSMANSHIP IS STUNNING. I HAVE NO HISTORY ON THIS CLOCK BUT IT IS RUNNING AND KEEPING REASONABLE TIME. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES TO SEE THE GREAT WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID.  PAYPAL AND U.S.A. SHIPPING ONLY.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.                                     NOTE ----- 1/11/21 SINCE MY ORIGINAL POSTING OF THIS ITEM IT HAS DECIDED TO RUN SLOW AND STOP NOW AND THEN. IT WILL NEED CLEANING AND OILING FOR SURE. STILL AN EXCITING PIECE OF HISTORY.
