    It looks like metal exterior - or is that just my eyes?

    Appears to be chased copper or brass with a Arts and Crafts influence. Would have a balance wheel escapement like a watch or alarm clock. Nice enamel dial. I'd put this 1890s to 1920.

    Given metal exterior I would not call this "tramp art."

    You might find a maker name under the metal plate on the back. Nice clock!
