Title: Wellington Quartz Elephants.
Post by: WinDrop on March 30, 2013, 03:40:04 PM

Hi,

Would like to ask you a question about this clock:
(http://s11.postimg.org/5pc28d533/20130330_212306_1.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/5pc28d533/)

Can anybody tell me something about it?
I can't find any more text on any part of the elephant. So can't search for the info on the web :(
Can't find anything similar to it at all.
Is it some kind of one-of-a-kind item?

Thanks for the info ;)

Looks like a cheap Asian piece.

BTW, i would advise people to check the spelling of " Elephants Clock " before googling this


 ;D

As the clock has  a quartz movement...i,d have to agree...

Thanks for help :)
