C.1825, Austrian, Dachluhr, 6-Lite, one weight timepiece in good original condition.
This clock has a presentation plaque in the case indicating it was given in appreciation of friendship in 1845. A thorough study of the piece dates it in the first quarter of the 19th century. Indicators include the convex porcelain dial which is near perfect, early hands, and mostly because the movement hangs in the case, a brass hoop on the movement over a single iron hook in the case back. What keeps this clock from being outstanding are the following: a) the suspension hanger has been moved downward because someone was too lazy to make a suspension spring long enough, and b) someone put some stain behind the pendulum where it had rubbed the case. These are small points considering the age of the piece, and it is sure to attract attention. Height 38 inches
