418.    $50

Gustav Becker box clock, ca. 1926.  A 30-inch mahogany case with a convex dial glass and three door glasses, the center glass beveled.  The silver and brass dial shows some wear, the hands may be replacements.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed “GB Silesia” and is running and striking on a wire gong.  The pendulum appears to be a replacement, as it does not quite fit the hanger.  Some chips to the veneer.  $50-$150.
