30-hour shelf clocks were often used in modest homes that couldn't afford a grandfather (tall case) clock or more expensive timekeeper. These are therefore known in the trade as 'cottage clocks'. This little sweetheart has pretty veneer with a few chips off the bottom edge of the case and a some rubs on the top (see photographs). The Zinc dial is perfect, having been repainted professionally and the lower door glass is quite colorful with some flaking in the center of the design which has been filled-in properly. What more can we say about this little guy except that he's got style at a lower than average price?
