Emaux de Louvière + Black Forest Alarm Clock

Emaux de Louvière

Went shopping today – got my hands on two beautiful items:

An ashtray, on the back it is written Emaux de Louvière, a monkey pulling a cat’s tail. I first saw it two years ago when I visited the Jeux de Balle market for the first time. Every time I went, I looked at it. The guy always told me the price was 25 euros. Today I finally decided to buy it. If nobody got it in the last two years …
I offered the guy 20 euros and he accepted.

Crazings are visible and they add up to the mystery:

An alarm table clock on which it is written Black Forest, West Germany. It is functional, but lacks 2 small screws (out of 3) which keep the back attached to the mechanism.
