Up for sale is an incredibly rare and highly collectible Antique Pre-WWII German Hand-Carved Wooden \"Rolling Eye\" Dog Novelty Clock manufactured by the legendary J. Oswald Company in Germany\'s Black Forest region.
This is an authentic Model Number 2045, which is clearly and deeply stamped into the raw wood on the underside of the base. This exquisite piece of historic horological folk art features a hand-carved seated canine body. Instead of traditional hands, the time is cleverly indicated by the dog\'s rotating eyes—the left eye points to the hour, and the right eye points to the minutes.
Mechanism & Features:Tested & Fully Working: The mechanical clockwork winds smoothly, ticks strongly, and the whimsical rotating eye mechanisms function exactly as they should.
Backplate Details: Retains its original shield-shaped protective metal backing plate with the original, integrated three-prong butterfly winding key and the lower speed-regulation lever slot intact.Cosmetic
Condition:The hand-carved wood features a stunning, deep natural patina and rich, warm coloration. There is normal, beautiful, age-appropriate surface wear, minor character lines, and typical wood drying patterns expected from a genuine century-old wood carving. The left ear features a stylized folded character posture that gives this pup an incredible personality.
Please review all high-resolution photos closely (including the front details, back mechanism, and stamped base) to evaluate the aesthetic condition. This fully operational piece is ready for immediate display on a shelf, desk, or as the crown jewel of an antique clock collection.
