Description
A LATE 19TH CENTURY PATINATED AND LACQUERED BRASS INDUSTRIAL NOVELTY STEAM HAMMER CLOCK, SIGNED A. R. GUILMET. No..466

LTRE', numbered 466, with special escapement and pendulum operation to mimic the action of the hammer, striking on a bell

The movement is in working order but not fully tested or guaranteed.
