<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 8041, member: 25&quot;]Possibly Royal Bonn for the case, or a similar firm. The colour can only be described as &#039;remarkable&#039; but it clashes nicely with whatever that is in the background.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a good chance it works, these clocks are pretty bombproof apart from broken springs because they were a non precision product, where a fine clock might have stopped, these will soldier on because a bit of wear does not have so much effect on something that was made with big initial tolerances. They can be pretty noisy, though, notably when striking. If you have the pendulum and the suspension is not broken try winding it up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>True,I&#039;m not a fan of these clocks, but the case is of such a colour (I&#039;d call it &#039;Hollywood Comedy Bridesmaid dress purple&#039; but the floor is open for other nominations) that this one one has a certain compelling awfulness similar to the impulse some have towards jumping off high places - you have to resist it, but somehow............... I&#039;d put it in my awful art collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
