F. Kroeber Clock Co. “China No. 31”, ca. 1898. A second example of this rare model, this one in white porcelain with rose highlighting.  The porcelain shows crazing; the brass fittings are original with some wear and tarnish.  The dial glass is flat, the paper dial is behind a brass mask and the hands are original.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed and is running and striking as expected.  This one also originally came with side-piece vases (see Ly, Kroeber Clocks, page 377).  A pretty clock.  $100-$500.
