A Featured Attraction
There are twenty six different window displays in the museum.
A featured attraction of this window display is this beautiful French clock, circa 1850, made by LeRolle Frehes of Paris. It stands a little over 33 inches high
and weighs about 80 pounds. The attention to detail was great and the porcelain enameled dial is segmented. During the period
this clock was made, enameling was expensive to do so they would build the dial in segements so if it was damaged or just didn't
turn out right, it did not distroy the whole dial.

Old Beauty
One of the favorites in the museum (there are many favorites) is this
circa 1789 brass and gilded gold bell striker. While it is very heavy, it is also very
graceful. The figurines depict a warm, tender, and playful scene.
