Stunning old English Edwardian era travel clock from my own collections being disbursed. This is my favorite. Larger than the majority of this type of old travel clock, it is crafted in thick solid ivory which has no hairlines, cracks, chips, flaws to note. There is a single hairline on the panel which holds the clock, near the winding stem. The timepiece winds, runs smoothly, and is noted as an 8'day movement. It is one of the very earliest clocks to have the radium dial, readable at night in the dark.
Very good to excellent condition, as you can see. No warp, hinge and closure working perfectly, as is the clock mechanism, itself. An 8-day movement, I can see from my photographer's images there is a name incised inside the movement, but I can't read it. And today, I can't seem to get the clock backing open to get a clearer image. If you recognize it, please email so I can be accurate. Measurements noted on the photos.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
Our offering exceeds the age limitation of "more than 100 years of age", and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry. Please see our small print for more details.
