great antique looking clock for the price...by the way, the number IIII is no mistake...every clock with roman numerals has IIII instead of IV!

googled the subject and here is what I found:
"There is a story that a famous clockmaker had constructed a clock for Louis XIV, king of France. The clockmaker had naturally used IV for four. When the clock was shown to the king, he remarked that IIII should have been used instead of IV. When it was explained to him that IV was correct, he still insisted, so that there was nothing to do but change the clock dial. This introduced the custom of using IIII for four. This is probably only a story, however, as IIII occurs long before the time of Louis XIV. And this same story is also told in connection with other monarchs. There is one reason why IIII is preferable to IV, and it may have caused the change. On the other side of the clock dial the VIII is the heaviest number, consisting of four heavy strokes and one light one, as it is usually made. It would destroy the symmetry to have the IV with only two heavy strokes on the other side. Thus IIII with four heavy strokes is much to be preferred. The change may therefore have been made for reasons of symmetry." [...]
Clearly "old world" is what they mean--not asian, not a mistake...interesting and makes interesting conversation in the kitchen...

IV vs. IIII

I was told by a professional clockmaker that clocks made with the "IIII"'s are from Asia. This is one way clockmakers are distinguishing the origins of the time piece. So this clock was made in Asia. Other clocks with "IV"'s are from the U.S., Europe, etc. Of course, as we all know, there is only one roman numeral 4 and it is "IV". So is this an error? You decide.
