Description
A collection of vintage mantel and alarm clocks of varying styles and periods. The group features a prominent upright rectangular clock housed in a dark stained wooden case with a circular silvered dial, black Arabic numerals, and a chrome-toned bezel. This clock features an exposed rear mechanical movement with an oxidised metal disc and a protruding setting lever with a black knob. The collection further includes a wooden humpback-style mantel clock with a white dial; a blue-cased twin-bell mechanical alarm clock; a large, ornate white mantel clock in the Gothic or Rococo style, likely constructed from cast resin or painted metal; a small chrome novelty alarm clock with a dial featuring cartoon characters; a monochrome mechanical alarm clock with luminous numerals; a small ornate gold-toned metal clock; and a small square-cased wooden clock. No maker marks are clearly legible on the primary wooden instrument clock.
