Here is a cute little clock that was in the 1950 catalogue. It is reminiscent of the early American pillar and scroll clocks of Eli Terry and many others. Nice thing about this clock is that it doesn't take up too much space, so will fit nicely almost anywhere.
Physical: The petite mahogany case, which measures 20"h x 10.5"w x 5.125"d, is in excellent original condition with original finish and paint on the case and dial. Solid brass finials and the pendulum are original, too.
Mechanical: The eight-day time-and-rod-strike movement has been professionally serviced and is in excellent running condition.
Comments: Nice clock for not a lot of money...

Just when we think we've seen it all, along comes another interesting clock that doesn't fit simply in any of our categories. This is a fine example of that phenomenon. There's no way to know if it came from the factory this way (unless someone has seen another), but it is a great conversation piece with a wonderful Gustav Becker movement. We don't have the serial number, but would guess, from the Art Deco style of the hands that this clock is circa 1930.
If you have a bar in your home (or perhaps you're a restaurant/pub owner), then this might be just the clock for you. It had a couple of beer steins sitting on the shelf that we removed for the photo, but you could place your favorite ones there and really be ready for and Octoberfest in style!
Physical: The oak case, which measures 24"w x 39"h x 13"d is in excellent physical condition as you can see in the photos. The 10" diameter silvered dial is in very good condition
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only movement (nice to have just time and no strike in your bar!) is in good running order, but we'll have our technician check the lubrication prior to shipping.
Comments: Looking for a fun conversation-piece clock? You found it!

Occasionally, we accept an interesting skeleton clock to present to our audience. Most are either ones with ridiculous price expectations, or so pedestrian as to fall in the "also-ran" category. This one is a nice, affordable exception and has a nice well-fitting dome as well.
Physical: The clock, which measures approximately12"w x 16.5"h x 7"d, is in excellent physical condition as is the glass dome that fits well on the base. The dial is approximately 6" in diameter
Mechanical: The eight-day bell-strike fusee movement has been professionally serviced and is in excellent running order
Comments: We've always been intrigued by skeleton clocks. Perhaps you've been, too, but have been waiting for just the right one to come along. Here it is...!

Movement: 4.5" dia.; Base: 7.5" dia.; Domed: 7.5"h
Excellent!
Signed, jeweled escapement model as built by a watchmaker apprentice, likely as a "last" project of his/her apprenticeship.
30 hour time-only
Excellent
This wonderful piece carries the "coming out" work of a young apprentice in the shop of Strasser & Rhode in the acclaimed watchmaking center of Glashutte, Germany.
We have an 11/97 auction catalogue page with a picture and description of another similar escapement model. It was projected to sell at auction in the $13-15K range. This one is WAY less expensive; WAY less. WAY, WAY LESS!
None of consequence noted; dome is plastic, obviously not original, but inexpensive to replace with glass as it should be.
