As promised and with much excitement I present to you today this absolutely stunning Jema Holland Medium Leaping Deer Fawn numbered (458).
I do believe it was worse then giving Birth "awaits" the Ladies yer right Mr"!!! I had located one of these around 4 years ago in Scotland and I waited.... and waited... and waited and it never arrived, "sadness indeed. It was lost in the post apparently:(... anyway imagine waiting actually a total of over 10 years and this little wee rippa showed up in The Netherlands, heart flutters, gasps, excitement quick.... pay for it.. It's mine.. said in my worse "Gollum" Voice.. it's mine precious :)..
Any way yes it arrived yesterday covered in bubble wrap and foam galore and upon opening it found it to be in excellent condition no cracks, breaks... sigh of relief.
It did arrive with a battery mechanism which I quickly removed and brought full dignity back to this wee fella with a replacement fully working Mercedes wind up Mechanism of which this clock originally came with at birth.
So there you have it fellow Collectors. Never give up if you have the passion and drive and faith eventually you will find gold in dem hills.
I am happy to report only 5 more Jema clocks left to find somewhere in that great World of ours and I will finally have the Complete Jema Holland Clock Collection known to man today.
Until my next excited posting enjoy my "Show & Tells" and feel free as always to ask questions and make comments.
Happy hunting.

Just out of curiosity - which clocks are you still searching for?

Congratulations and *very* nice job of restoring the clock to its original condition! :)
What a pearler! Congratulations mate!
Thanks to all the "LOVE IT" and comments fellow Collectors. Many are asking what are the 5 remaining clocks in the Jema Collection. they are as follows 402 Double Stallion, 423 Large Zander Fish Clock, 426 Female Deer (RIGHT) Profile only as I have the (Left) Profile also numbered 426. 431 Retro Cat Table Clock and Last but not least 404 Cockeral Rooster Clock. There could be possibly more (UNKNOWN) numbered Jema Clocks out there but to date no one has presented evidence of this. As always I thank you all out there for viewing my Collection in 2016. I wish everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please be safe on the roads. Cheers hutchy777
