Question
Hi Harold;
I was given a small clock today but cant find anything to refer to. It is a porcelain "wizard" figure, stands about 4 - 6 " high , excellent condition with a small clock in the folds of his blue gown. It has a white face on clock and has"Elgin" on it. Any idea? Thank you in advance

Answer
Hi Nancy

The Elgin name is is put on tons of novelty clocks and this one sounds like its from Harry Potter maybe.  Without a pic I just don't know and even with one its doubtful.  Possibly type in wizard clock on ebay.  
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
