I bought this clock at an estate sale several years ago. I do not know the year it was produced, but it says made in France and is a 7 Jewel Alarm Clock.
It's beautiful white toned armoire style with art deco star design and opens up to show the face.
It has the original box with it as well...
It's adorable about 4.5" tall, but I don't know anything about it... please help...

OH! I see you sold it in August on ebay! Beautiful clock.
