Germany, tall clock with 8 tune barrel organ, Gothic style softwood case, tall rectangular base below the trunk with fluted columns flanking the door, bonnet with decorative piercing, and stepped gable trim set with 15 turned finials, Roman numeral skeletonized dial with paper backing, brass, pierced spade hands, barrel organ playing eight tunes on twenty wooden pipes, cast iron weights, winding crank and brass pendulum ball case refinished, left side mid molding loose, scuffs and scrapes, paper backing on piercing with tears, dial with warp and minor splits, hands with tarnish and minor bends, movement ticking, two levers missing from front plate, barrel organ will run, one pipe split at glue joints, weights good, pendulum rod missing. We did not run the organ, but the consignor did have it operating. The case and movement of this clock appear to be made of American woods, and some construction details of the movement differ from what we usually see in comparable German work.
