F. Kroeber Mirrorside, ca about 1885.

Refinished (cleaned) 25 inch walnut case is most attractive. Kroeber, always a little different and a little better than the competition, designed this clock so as not to look like everybody else's mirror sides. They used their own special designed pendulum with the slow-fast indicator inside the beveled glass. Pendulum is signed on the back. 8 day movement, hour and half hour strike on a cathedral gong similar to the best Seth Thomas gong bases. When the clock was restored they installed a new paper dial, new metal statues. The mirrors, decorated door glass and all finials and hardware, are original. Glory be, there is an original Kroeber key inside. There is no label and I can't find a picture of the clock in my Kroeber books.
