C.1910, English, Mahogany Tall Case clock, time and strike, with brass dial and rolling moon. The case retains original finish with fine crazing, beveled glass in central door and bracket feet. The dial has been polished with brasso, resulting in a loss of lacquer and some oxidation. The robust 2-weight cable drive movement was professionally cleaned and re-strung in 1997. The pendulum is an invar rod with lead filled brass bob, and the weights are well made brass sheathed units with knurled tops, and the pulleys similarly robust. Simple back-mount door lock is missing; available for about 10 dollars. Case height will fit in almost any ceiling; Height 84.5 inches. This clock failed to reach reserve of 2000 dollars in November sale; plenty of value for someone who wants an early 20th century clock.
