C.1890, German, Striking Year Clock, likely Jahresuhrenfabrik, now with another dome and base, serial No. 4758.
Condition: basically complete and anxious to run. Strikes a bit too fast because some one has reduced the size of the fan. Wheels and arbors are clean and rust free. Porcelain dial is perfect. The top trim is loose and is from another large 400 day clock and is not wide enough for this clock. See Horolovar 400 Day clock repair guide, 10th edition, Section 3, figure 1 for what the top piece should look like, reproduced below by courtesy of the Horolovar Co. We have seen several of these over the years, all with serial numbers in the 4000 range. Other than lacking the DeGruyter patent info around the dial center, this clock is virtually identical to the Jahresuhrenfabrik model pictured in the Horolovar book. Plate 1729. Height of clock 12" (31cm) height with dome and base 14"
