German box clock, ca. 1930.  A 30.5-inch oak case with a beveled glass in the bottom and a flat replacement glass over the worn silvered dial.  There are brass ornaments on the top half as well.  The unsigned movement plays Westminster chimes on four rods and counts the hours on the same four rods.  The suspension spring is broken so I couldn’t check if it runs but it does chime and strike.  Suspension springs are inexpensive and available from TimeSavers, and easy to replace; I did not have one on hand or I would have replaced it.  The case is slightly out of square.  With the chimes this is one step above the average German box clock.  $50-$100.
