My grandma had one about 15-20 years ago it used marbles for time pieces an arm would swing around every minute and pick up a marble and drop it on the top row the 2nd row was marked off in 5 min incrments and the 3rd was in hours just like a clock at noon/midnight it would drop all of the marbles to the bottom to start the process all over again

  2. A trickto clock, I think.....

  3. That was a time when executive toys were all the rage.  The clock sounds fascinating - a kind of automatic abacus - but I doubt that its genre was ever honored with a name other than "novelty."
