CLOCK OF CAREL J DE BEER, PETRUSBURG




My grandfather, Oupa Callie de Beer, who lived in Petrusburg, ordered this clock from a Cape Town merchant during the 1930's. On the faceplate one can read that this Swiss clock was assembled in Cape Town. My cousin, Johan de Beer, a deputy school principal at the Central Primary School in Bloemfontein, got the clock serviced and still uses it in his dining room.
