Sadly it had to happen.....
I am presenting to you today my final Jema Holland clock in my collection until I uncover the where abouts of the ones I do not have which I will present to you after this posting.
My final Jema Holland is a beautiful Large Twin Boxer Dogs Mantle Clock numbered (463).
This has to be one of my personal favourites which has a funny ironic story behind it.
I had been searching for about six (6) years when a fellow collector sent me one of his as he had (2) in his collection. "fantastic" thankyou...
Then soon after one came up for sale in Britain and so now I have (2) of these beauties in my collection. (more the merrier I say)
In closing if I could make 3 wishes come true in relation to collecting Jema Clocks they would be.
1) Please reduce shipping costs to get them to me as most times the postage is more then the Clock.
2) Sellers be aware that if it is not bubble wrapped and packed carefully it will never survive around the world Journey to me. (I received one in an undersized box wrapped in only newspaper.. it made a great rattle with 14 piecies... RIP Jema.....
3) You probably all guessed it... to finally have the complete 100% Jema Holland Clock Collection. ( No one to date across the world has achieved this to y knowledge).
Ok sorry for waffling on.
Feel free to ask questions or make comments.
Happy Treasure Hunting

Nice clock. Very nice for the final post of them from your wonderful collection.
I dunno why some people just refuse to wrap properly. I understand wanting to save money by using small boxes, but poor wrapping? Is it just that they think it takes too long?
I wrap everything-- news-paper, bubble wrap, foam lining everything and separating items with it, and foam/bubble sleeves on 'appendages' of items/bottles; I then tape the heck out of the box.
I am happy to say nothing I've ever shipped has ever been damaged, even when the buyer tells me the box was crushed inward or he saw the postman drop it.
Beautiful and extensive Collection! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)
