My maternal grandmother was born in the early 1900s or late 1890s. At the age of 16, her father bought her this figurine for just 25 cents. I don’t know the occasion for the gift, but I do know she treasured it. I somehow ended up with it and it is now proudly displayed in our curio cabinet.
This clock
came from the other side of our family, originally from Sweeden/Germany. We have
somehow managed to keep the original glass dome, too. It is proudly displayed
in our curio cabinet also.
My Aunt Margaret had a clock very similar to that. Her Husband, my Uncle, Otto Bollbuck, his family was from Germany, I suspect that's where it came from. Shame all the things she had were lost. Long sad story there I should tell you about some day.

ReplyDeleteMy family had a clock like that on the mantelpiece. They called it an anniversary clock.
