1885 FRENCH ADVERTISING TIN STORE CLOCK

CHOCOLAT GUERIN- BOUTRON

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE READ INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT/SHIPPING TERMS BEFORE BIDDING

You have seen the many colorful trade cards from Guerin-Boutron, advertising their wonderful chocolate, but when have you ever seen an original 1885 - 1900 period clock from this company ?

Made of grain painted, gilt, and painted tin, this clock is large enough and yet not too large to put right in your room or office.

The clockworks have been replaced to accomodate a battery run clock, and we believe the hands have been replaced also.

All other parts are original, with being sold as found with no touchup or repairs.

A beautiful tin litho advertising clock

This measures:

18 3/4 in. wide

Condition:

As previously mentioned, and scratches and wear to the Roman numeral numerals especially 3, 4, and 5. Some light spotty oxidation.

Shows beautifully and will be a welcome addition to your collection.

Please bookmark this listing as it may be changing categories.

Please resolve all inquiries prior to placing your bid

We do not reveal reserve prices, nor respond to emails requesting the reserve, and we thank you for your understanding
