C.1895, German Symphonion, Style 30St disc playing grandfather clock in good condition, needing restoration.
First item of attention is that the rear panel of the clock is completely gone; this is really a dust cover in this model, and can be fabricated easily of pine. According to David Bowers, the 30St was, in terms of numbers sold, the most popular Symphonion grandfather clock. The two combs on this model play in "Sublime Harmonie Picolo" and despite one broken tooth in the top comb, this has a very nice tone. These are designed to play on the hour, tripped by a cord from the clock above; this cord is now absent. The exterior of the case is excellent with original finish and patina and with original finials on top of the clock (rear 2 finials missing their tips). Uses 34.5cm (13 5/8") discs of which there are 10 total. Complete with crank to box and pendulum to Lenzkirch clock. A picture of this music box/clock can be found in "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments" by Q. David Bowers, pg. 224. Clock is just under 8 feet with top finial on, and removing top finial gives you another 3" Height 95 inches
