Friedrich Mauthe Berliner wall clock, ca. 1905.  An impressive 45-inch walnut case with considerable ornamentation, including a horse at the top.  Everything looks original, the porcelain and brass repousse dial is clean and bright, the shell pendulum bob bright.  There are two doors, one for the dial with a bowed glass and the second for the pendulum, behind a flat glass.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement shows the Mauthe logo from 1902; it is running and striking on a wire gong.  A very nice example.  $250-$500.
