Hello! Having just seen an identical clock make £103 on Ebay, (item number 380377651986), I thought I would sell mine. Made in the 1940's/50's, The clock has very Art Deco features with it's octagonal dial and chrome bezel etc. The case is made from various exotic woods and is in perfect condition. The movement runs for at least 8 days on one wind. The last one I had ran for two weeks, so no doubt this will do the same. The clock is made by "ODO" who I believe were the only manufacturers of this type of clock.The movement is in excellent and clean condition and working perfectly. It strikes once at the half hour and the appropriate number of times on the hour. As it does so, the figure in the upper part of the clock moves through 90 degrees and strikes the brass bell accordingly. All very amusing! The clock has it's original winding key which sits in it's special holder.(see pics) The pendulum bob is original.There are no nasty surprises. I have mentioned a postal charge of £20, but in the event that it is less, I will refund the difference together with the post office receipt. You are of course welcome to collect. I would prefer payment by cheque or cash. Please see my 100% feedback and . Thank you very much for looking
