C.1910, M.Winterhalder and Hofmeier, Nuestadt, Baden, Germany 8-day Quarter striking mini-mantel clock.

23 October 2024
This clock has the name of the retailer, "J. E. Caldwell, Philadelphia" on the dial. The mahogany case has its original finish, which has alligatored with age, and there are small nicks and scrapes on every side, and the back door has scratches to the finish. There is a chip in the door glass. The dial has tarnished a little, but not bad for its age. The minute hand is a hand-made replacement (well done). Note subsidiary dials in arch for F/S and chime/silent. Lever movement is striking out of sequence and will need attention; but is heavy and very well made, and adjustments are straight-forward. Height 83/4"
