15 in tall. A novelty figural mantel clock in the style of nineteenth-century German blinking eye or winkie clocks, commonly associated with the Black Forest region. The case is constructed from painted cast iron, modeled as a standing gentleman or clock peddler dressed in eighteenth-century attire, including a tricorn hat, long frock coat, and knee breeches, while holding a walking stick. A shield-shaped dial is mounted to the chest of the figure, featuring hand-painted floral decorations at the top and a chapter ring with Roman numeral hour markers and Arabic numeral minute markers in five-minute increments. The mechanical, weight-driven movement utilizes a chain system with two cylindrical brass weights. The clock is designed with a character animation feature where the eyes oscillate horizontally in time with the internal pendulum. The figure is mounted on an ornate rectangular cast iron base with scrolled rococo feet. No manufacturer marks are visible on the case, dial, or movement housing.
