This is a unique Gilbert alarm clock. It does run when you wind it up and give it a gentle shake. There's a small crack in the one bottom corner on the right side but not noticeable from a distance. I had this clock in my collection for awhile and decided to part with it. The clock looks beautiful but not perfect. This is a clock that was probably made back in the 1930s or 40s. I can't guarantee anything except to say that it's running as I'm listing it to make sure that it's a running close. There's no returns on this clock due to the age.
