Description

One brass clock hand with round base and a square hole in middle, the long arm is one brass rivet and a hole where another rivet may have been along the arm. The tip of the clock hand has broken off and there are brown weathered marks on the brass. Three brass rivets in base form a triangle, there is a hole in base where larger rivet or screw may have been. The clock hand back is flat with a rounded front and may possibly be gold plated. Judging from photos, this would have to be the "seconds" hand and the hour and minute hands were thick and black.
