    I found this clock today while exploring a local antique shop. It is really sweet and can fit anywhere. It is a wind-up clock and it chimes.
    There is one online that is very pricey, and the mechanism has been replaced with a battery. The information states that it was made in the 1940s, but this looks like a 1960s/1970s clock to me.

    Information I gathered online:

    20th c., USA, a paint decorated Grandmother's/Pencil clock with the dial marked "Colonial." Colonial Manufacturing Co., Zeeland, Michigan. Hand painted in Adams style with floral designs and a Colonial scene on the central cartouche. The front door opens to reveal a storage space for umbrellas, walking sticks etc.

    Colonial Manufacturing Company was a clock and furniture manufacturer in Zeeland, Michigan from 1906–1983. The company was founded by John Spyker, who began making grandfather clocks in Zeeland in 1899, and incorporated in 1906. Colonial Manufacturing Company made grandfather clocks, library and living room furniture, and spinet desks

    Dimensions:
    71.5"h x 10.5"w x 7.5"d
