C.1924 (dated), Herschede Model 802, 5-Tube mahogany tall clock in very good condition.
First off, this clock came out of a Litchfield estate in October of 2002, and the auction house (not us) lost the weights to the clock. On my recommendation, the owner had a set of quality weights made for 350 dollars (they are nice). Despite copying the dimensions from another Herschede we had, the weights are rubbing slightly in this case. Now this is solvable; as we tested if the right free end of the chime cable is simply relocated to the right about 3/8 inch and the center end moved to the right about 1/8 inches or so, the weights will clear each other without catching and stopping the clock. This has a good heavy 3-train movement, serial 19349 (which corresponds exactly with the production date of 2-12-24 stamped into the seatboard. Fancy dial with raised gilded numerals with levers for strike/silent and chime/silent. The mahogany case is in good shape with original finish; minor nicks and scrapes. Hood slides forward for access to movement; glass in center door is beveled. Orig Herschede crank also. Height 82 inches
