A weapon of self defense while on horseback or as you stroll down the avenue-leather covered riding crop concealing a sharp pointed short sword-overall length 26 inches-sword is 19 inches-sword is in fine condition-wear to leather portion of crop-- snap portion coming off-blade is graduated thicker and wider at the hilt-it is designed to protect--and would be a rude surprise to any mugger--piece has enough heft to be welded as a club--probably late 19th century-leather worn--most likely German-certainly European

ca 1810. Figure of Napoleon pointing to England. Finger he is pointing with has last digit mising. Top of clock is spelter. Bottom is ormulu over slabs of marble. This is all housed in a toile base. Closk brass works are French, seems original and works on a silk thread (pendulum). The bell emits a tiny and strike--one clock hand is missing. I think this clock is period Napoleon. I believe it was produced as cheap as possible to appeal to the masses--hence marbe slabs instead of solid marble. Top housing is spelter instead of bronze. Size 18" high x 10.75" wide. Needs tender loving care and will continue to march with you through history. Sold as is $1295.
