Gustav Becker 2-weight Vienna Regulator, 1880-1885. A 43-inch two-weight Vienna in a light-colored
wood in excellent condition. I believe all three glasses are original; the two-part porcelain dial is signed (Karl Klose, Vöslau),
a town south of Vienna. The brass shell weights are engraved, the top and bottom case-pieces are carved and original, the finials
are likely replacements, well-matched. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed Gustav Becker with the serial number 488559,
dating it to 1880-1885. It is running and striking a chime rod on the hours and half-hours. A very nice example. $250-$500.
