We have a large number of vintage and antique clocks currently listed along with an equally large number of music boxes and other very nice collectibles. Be sure to have a look at our. This is a beautiful, rare, animated wooden wall clock that was created in “Japan” about 70 years ago by the “Cherry” Clock Company. It is hand carved and made to look like a large owl with a very nice blended walnut and mahogany finish! The dial is metal and has a black backdrop featuring large, easy to read Roman numerals to mark the hours and fancy matching metal hands to point out the time. The hands are the old style that are pinned to the escapement, not held on by a nut. The eyes are most extraordinary and they move back and forth as time ticks away; fascinating! The back is wood too and has a built in metal hanger. The back is quite secure with its own screw yet slides open easily to allow access to the mechanical, weight driven movement inside the case and for placing the pendulum. The clock works quite well here, keeps good time, and lasts for about two days on a single wind. I’ve looked the clock over fairly well and find no damage or missing parts. It does show some wear and mostly on the dial. I did find a small hole in one of the eyes but it’s not at all distracting; I doubt if anything could! The clock measures about 10 1/2″ at its highest point (not counting the weight or pendulum), about 2 1/2″ or so at its deepest point, and about 6 at its widest point. The clock comes complete as shown with a set of attached metal chains, a wire pendulum and round wooden bob, and one heavy pinecone shaped metal weight. This clock is certain to capture the imagination of any guests in your home, office, or wherever it is that you care to showcase a very rare, hand carved, animated timepiece that is one of the most captivating I have seen.
