This very unusual piece is 10" high and the bottom is 4 7/8" x 1 1/2". It's a non-working model of a gingerbread clock built inside an old bottle. The pendulum swings back and forth when the bottle is moved. The bottle is embossed on the back: HUSTON + CO. SUMMIT & MADISON TOLEDO, OHIO . The builder drew two American flags behind the dial. He drew blue and red accent lines on the wood. The previous owner thought it was a good idea to store this, without a cork, in a dusty old attic for many, many years. I carefuly cleaned it as far down as I could without disturbing the clock. Please look at the pictures for the best part of my description.
