I recently bought a Kundo, 400 day clock from a pawn shop, and I'd like to find out more about it. It is a dome shaped anniversary clock, made of brass. The face, legs (that support the face), and base are painted black with three small sets of flowers painted on the face (blue and red flowers), and the same pattern going down the legs and around the base. I've got a picture, but no idea how to post it here. Can anyone make any suggestions?

Kundo (along with some other manufacturers) made anniversary/400 day clocks in various case styles. Decorative painted pillars, dials and bases were popular for a time beginning in the 1950's. They were made in a standard size model, but there may have been a miniature version too. Other than the painted flowers, etc, these were the same as the brass finish versions.

Wow. So my clock could date from the 50's. It is standard sized. I believe its 11" tall.
