465.    $100

Winterhalder & Hofmeier small bracket chime, ca. 1930.  A small bracket chime clock, 10 inches high, with four beveled glasses (one on top) in a mahogany frame case.  One side glass is cracked.  It has a silver repoussé dial board with a brass dial and matte center.  The 8-day time-and-strike signed (W & H in Sch) movement is running and striking on two cathedral gongs on the quarter-hours (“ting-tang”), and counting the hours.  The mahogany case is clean and nick-free, but neither door latch is working.  I’ve not been able to find any sales records for this model; I estimate $150-$250.
