A lot consisting of two vintage items. The first is a circular chrome-plated metal desk accessory, possibly a small container or inkwell, featuring a hinged lid. The lid is inset with a red enamelled medallion depicting a silver-toned cross pattee within a circular frame and a hexagonal chain-link border, identifying it as the emblem of the Ladies Circle. The base is embossed with the text CIRCLE 82 GOLF TOURNAMENT 1963. The second item is a mechanical travel alarm clock housed in a brass case designed to resemble a small book. The exterior is decorated with intricate engraved foliate scrollwork. The interior reveals a brass movement plate stamped GERMANY. The movement includes manual winding keys for time and alarm functions, an adjustment knob, and functional symbols representing a sun and a bell.
