Atglen, PA: Schiffer Publishing, Limited. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1989. Cloth. Near Fine book in a like dustjacket; now protected in mylar. Letter "H" stamped on the front endpaper. 245 pages. Many photographs including color photographs. "The skeleton clock probably is the most fascinating of all clocks. It displays, by means of its fretted-out frame and lack of any protective case other than a glass dome, its inner-most workings. Therefore, this type of clock attracted the attention of some of the finest makers, particularly those working in France from circa 1760-1860 as it enabled them to display their skills so completely. It was for the same reason that it was popular with their wealthy clients, who could show off their latest acquisitions so perfectly."; Remainder .
