I've had this clock for a bout 5 or 6 years now and I've always wondered about it's history, value, etc. I was wondering if anyone could help me with any information about it. I've searched the net for hours and can't find it anywhere. There is a ribbon at the bottom of the clock that says, "Time is Money." Also, on the side, behind her right shoulder there is the name Waagen. The only Waagen I found that could have sculpted this is Arthur Waagen, but supposedly he dealt mostly with sculpting animals such as horses and dogs. I was wondering if this was sculpted by him and around what date. He died in 1910 so i am thinking late 1800s. Also if anyone could estimate a value, and where the best place to sell something like this would be. I would like to sell this piece soon and I was wondering if I should try ebay or a local auction. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated! Thank You. Pictures are attached.
Also, what is the best way to clean something like this? It has little white specs all over it that make it look depreciated.
