Junghans brass movement.Notes:
Judging from its appearance, this item is in completely original condition. It seems probable that when the main spring slipped it was put away in store and has only just seen the light of day again. It has the original dust and dirt of ages and must be a restorer's dream!Noted clock historian Alan Shenton provided the following information in response to an enquiry about whether the old Ever Ready had any connection with todays Ever Ready:In case you don't recognise the description it is also sometimes, and possibly facetiously, known as a brothel clock.
The clock is of course mechanical and the battery in the base was used to switch on a pair of small bulbs behind the translucent dial when the push button on the cord was pressed.
