I thought I had sold my collection of clocks until I discovered this one in the back of a bookcase. It appears in perfect physical shape and appears to run -- but still needs a little work. As the photos show is it missing the hour hand - it is entirely possible it is laying at the bottom of the case. I appears to run fine with a turn or two of the key on the spring but I did not try winding it all the way.
The nice little carriage clock was made in the mid to late... 1800's and has the known R A markings of Duverdrey & Bloquel. It has the word France at the bottom of the face near the 6 position as well as "Made in France" on the back of the clock. The inside of the door has the numeral 37 on it - I do not know what that means unless it was an inventory or style number. All the glass on the sides and top is beveled with no chips or cracks. It comes with a key that works but I am not sure that it is the original key. I remember getting the clock because I felt it was a good buy, a great example of the style, and would need minimal work. I had set it back to have a friend look at it and get it back to being fully functional but now, with retirement, I have sold my carriage clock collection for others to enjoy.
Measurements: 5 1/8" H X 3 1/8" W X 2 1/2" D
Please look at the photos carefully, this is what you will receive. If you have questions or wish additional photos, please ask. It is priced low to get back my original investment only.
