Purchased at a British antique shop. This is a very rare item, as original mid-century pieces are hard to come by, even though many people want them, and they are not a reproduction. The warm ivory cream color, especially characteristic of Britain, is lovely. It's a very practical and convenient tool, but I think the shape, or rather, its very existence, is so cute and captivating. The exterior has a nice vintage feel, and the movement works perfectly. I believe this authentic piece is a clock that reflects the British landscape of the time.
