BM-8.            $100

Gustav Becker open-well wall clock, ca. 1925.  A 33-inch mahogany case with metal ornaments and metal columns on the portico.  The finish is old/original and dirty and there are missing pieces of edge trim.  The metal dial has lost most of its finish, the hands match, and there is a glass in the door over the dial.  There is a fancy metal pendulum.  The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running feebly and striking on a wire gong; it is well out of plumb and will need adjustment.  The serial number is 919346, dating the clock to around 1925.  A serious clean-up is needed, including the movement.  $100–$200.
