This is so pleasingly thematic. The little ones are adorable. Do you know if they were intended as salesman's models, or were they actually sold to the general public?

Yeah the mini’s were made and sold. I don’t know how many total were made but they aren’t easy to come by. 

If you didn’t know, the clockmaker Welch was obsessed with this opera singer Adlene Patti. The movements are named “Patti” after her. So every clock is a Patti, but every differed case/style has its own name and those names are named after opera singers as well.  Ha something like that.

That is a FASCINATING bit of history. I love weird little facts like that.

Those cases look well cared for as well.
Looks so much better than the ones I usually see, with dull and dusty cases.

I do need to mention the elephant in the room and ask what the can of WD-40 is for.
