Winterhalder “Postman” wall clock, ca. 1870. Winterhalder is signed on the painted wooden dial; the
wooden plate movement confirms its German/Black Forest origin and the metal arbors indicate it was made after 1840 or so. Winterhalder
made clocks for the English market. This is also known as a wag-on-wall clock, given the wide swing of the long pendulum. The clock is 12 inches across with a walnut rim and a convex glass over the dial. The hands may be original. It is running
and striking like a champ; it is a one-day clock. There aren’t a lot of examples of clocks like this on the internet; I’m guessing
$150-$300.
