412.     $150

R. M. Schnekenburger regulator, 1882-1900.  There is a logo on the bottom of the back plate of the movement “RMS” around a rose; this logo was used by this German clockmaker who was later bought out by Uhrenfabrik Mühlheim. The early German regulator (Jugendstil) style case is consistent with that timeframe.  The 41-inch hardwood case has an ornately carved top, a convex glass over the dial and a beveled cutout glass below, with pinecone finials on the bottom.  The case is clean and unmarred.  The dial is a cheap plastic replacement.  The presumably 8-day, time-and-half-hour strike movement is running and striking.  $150-$250.
