What i have here is a WC Victorian ??Lady Clock Ornament .The ornament is yellow and i think it is cast iron. I got it a few weeks ago at a house clearance . It measures as good as 7" x7" and weights as good as 1.13Lb.
At the back , i notice the number 1358 engraved .
at the back of the clock i can read: PATENTED
JAN 15 1878
MAY 6 1890
DEC 23 1890
JAN 13 1891
The back of the ornament has a curved support
The clock is made by:

It is in a class known as "Novelty Clocks". I didn't find your particular model in any of my references but the dial/movement was used in a lot of models I came across. It's a nice clock. Thanks for sharing it with us.
