<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 58164, member: 25"]The movement is a very cheap 30 hour 'insertion movement', a standard that would fit many types of cases, like a modern quartz movement, but unhappily only used in cheap clocks.

It's a cheap decorative piece with a certain kitsch appeal but I can't guess what your local market value would be. If you do not get a lot for it you will be sure that you have not sold an undiscovered treasure for nothing. At least it looks to be in pretty good condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
