<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 24918, member: 25"]Without having the thing in hand, I do not think it is a modern repro. If there had been lots of them around, I'd see them. They are quite rare and I have never seen two the same. The use of IIII for 4 instead of IV is typical of clock dials of the period and not what a modern creator would chose. The moon and sun have what must be described as conventional 'period' faces, that would have been seen on moonphase longcase clock dials by an artisan of the period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
