It always surprises me how nice bakerlite can look sometimes...I really like the look of this, it seems to have a nice patina to it

Ok, that thing is adorable. I hope you keep it

Me: Sleeping even with 2 morbiers and grandfather clocks next to me... Or more, an entire room of chiming clocks

I've had one and appreciate them: compact, reliable because it's a Smiths. Yes, different colours were made - same idea with the much pricier Vitascope electric clocks. Not so clever is the idea of opening up the case from below to wind and set the hands.

I’ve see a few of these in a few antique fairs but with a sort of chalky white finish. Quite interesting to see one with a natural Bakelite colour.

Watch the hinge area as they are prone to cracking there.

I love small drop dial clocks :) They're just so cute! The way the case opens reminds me of some office/dial clocks which opened in the same way.
I have the sane problem with the chain jumping on my Majak cuckoo clock. I just don't get why they made wrong size chains for those communist clocks...

I replaced both chains on my East German cuckoo clock as they were very jumpy. I put Regula chains on and they work perfectly!
