Zaanse Dutch wall clock, ca. 2000?  As with #440, these clocks were made in Holland in the 1950’s and 60’s, but this one seems more recent.  This style has detailed brass ornamentation around the top with a figure holding the world on his shoulders; the bell is mounted directly beneath him.  The dial is a porcelain tile in the Dutch style with a silvered chapter ring.  There is a second Dutch tile on the bottom.  The two brass twisted columns need to be attached with small nails.  This clock lacks a pendulum, backboard, and the two characteristic tear-drop gold weights associated with these clocks. Zaandam teardrop weights and sunburst pendulums can be obtained from TimeSavers.  The movement was made by Hermle, 8-day time-and-strike. Check eBay for comparable clocks, usually selling in the mid-$100’s.  $100-$200.
