LaRose Post-war regulator, 1949-1990. The spring-driven movement is signed “LaRose, no (0)
jewels, Made in West Germany”, clueing us in to the time-period when this clock was manufactured. The 36-inch hardwood (walnut?)
case is in excellent condition but the two-part metal dial shows some staining, and I’m pretty sure it did not start out with this
movement – it appears to have a filled winding hole in the inner dial. The damascened pendulum bob is quite nice, and the clock
is running and striking as expected on the hour and half-hour on a wire gong, keeping time. The case has a nicely carved crest
and base. $150-$300.
