The case retains both original rear labels, the model label and the operating instruction label. This model was meant to compete with popular French imports with conical or rotary pendulums. The Kroeber noiseless system was patented June 18, 1878. His use of a worm gear as in a music box governor is a departure from other patents which used a contrate wheel to change the direction of the motion. The beautiful part of this clock is the original floral inlay in the front of the case, which is all intact. We expect a lot of interest in this clock. Height 22.5 inches
