523.    $25

Herschede electric chime tambour, ca. 1920.  A 10.5-inch high by 20.5-inch wide tambour with an electric synchronous motor and a back-up self-wind movement that operates during current interruptions.  The case has an interesting alternating grain pattern on the front, molded trim and feet, and a silvered dial with wear and soiling behind a convex beveled glass.  The cord to plug in the clock in back is missing so I could not test it; one of the four chime rods needs to be reattached.  $25-$100.
