I paid way too much for this when I went to Greece several years ago (US Navy) I found it in the back of a dingy rundown shop specializing in separating tourists from their money. Anyway, it came without a pendulum, and it wasn't until I got it back to the ship that I found it to be of Chinese make. Pretty statue though. I'm contemplating buying a repro mystery clock movement from Timesavers and replacing this clock with it.

UPDATE (Aug 25, 1999): This damn clock fell over and hit me in the head while I was cleaning around it. It has since been 'retired' to the garage to await a new movement.

UPDATE (Nov 11, 2000) Movers nearly destroyed this clock while moving to my new home. Porcelain face and movement housing were crushed beyond recognition. Have a great, if heavy, statue but no clock to put on it. Anyone got a spare?

After it fell over, I took the clock portion off to see what it would take to get a genuine mystery movement for this clock. I may just offer this up for a trade.
