Antique American Clocks January 2020
209. $50
Black Forest glass picture clock, ca. 1900. On the back of a side-cover is a stamped name, Franz Weigl,
Uhrmacher, along with several hand-written dates, the earliest being 1913. The frame is 12 inches high and 10.5 inches wide. The gesso frame is cracked at the bottom with a missing chip and the painted image of the village on a river is lifting off the glass,
with some scattered losses. The hands are old. The wooden frame movement doesn’t want to run but it will strike on a wire
gong. An old pendulum and two typical pine-cone weights on mismatched chains complete the ensemble. $85-$125.
