Wanted: French Organ Clock, ca. 1775-1800
By Frank Metzger

Dear friends,

I am looking for an original French Organ Clock of the period 1775-1800
(approx.), which usually consists of a rather ornate clock and an ornate
square or oval base containing a small to medium organ movement, which
is usually fusee-powered.  Typically, the clock sets off the organ 
movement on the hour.

Any lead would be appreciated, and if it results in a successful
purchase, the provider would be rewarded with a finder's fee.  Please
contact me if you can help.

Thanks,
Frank Metzger
