23 October 2024
Condition: this exceptional 3-wt hung behind the piano in Dana's music room (see detail image), and was reportedly his favorite "Vienna". Has a quality bench made movement with maintaining power, nice hand-finished beat-set, and quality 5 spoke pulleys. Dial grommets intact plus strike shutoff working; dial signature [Boch] restored by Dana. Minor shortcomings include missing "tail" for the minute hand, part of top finial base missing, corbels loose in case, sliver of seat board missing on each side. Everything there is original. Cleaned by Dana and hung in 1974. Height 55 inches
