Listing description

Product description

Eye-catching Mercedes‑marked wooden mantel clock with a round central dial, gold-tone numerals and trim, tapered wooden case and gold-tone feet. The dial shows age staining and the metal trim and hands have tarnish; the front glass is missing but the dial, bezel and winding hole are intact and clearly visible. Photographs and a warehouse check show the internal movement is present and installed.

This piece suits a collector, restorer or décor project where a mechanical mantel clock is wanted for display, repair or continued use. It will sit well on a fireplace mantel, bookcase or sideboard as a vintage-style focal point; a clockmaker or hobbyist will be able to service or tune the movement to improve reliability and appearance.
