Elmer O. Stennes pillar & scroll, ca. 1970. I counted
seven on LiveAuctioneers, but I have never seen one before. The mahogany case is 30 inches tall with the center brass urn finial,
with curly maple accents. The veneer on the scroll top shows some lifting and splitting. The dial is metal, the tablet
is unsigned. The 8-day, time-and-strike, spring-driven movement is German, I believe, but it is not signed on the front and
I did not remove it from the case. I couldn’t persuade it to run. There is a good label inside. A couple of sales
in 2020, for $500 (Eldred’s) and $750 (Vogt Auction). $500-$750.
