Bidspirit auction | An Assortment of Miniature Brass

An Assortment of Miniature Brass and Gilt Metal Novelty Desk Clocks - This collection comprises multiple miniature novelty and carriage-style desk clocks, predominantly constructed from cast brass and gold-toned plated metal, including one ornate silver-toned metal example. The assortment features a diverse range of forms including a horse-drawn carriage, a vintage motorcycle, a ship steering wheel with a wood-effect rim, a street lantern, a classical guitar, and a vintage-style camera. The group also includes a triple-dial world time clock on a horizontal bar stand, a miniature longcase clock, and several carriage clocks of varying sizes. Other forms include an arched acrylic desk clock and a square travel-style timepiece. Most dials are white with a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals. While maker marks are visible on some dials, they are not clearly legible at this resolution; however, the collection is in the style of manufacturers such as Elgin, Linden, or Timex. The movements are likely a combination of quartz and mechanical types. Overall width of grouping as displayed: approximately 53 cm.
