Gustav Becker open-well wall clock, ca. 1860.  The GB anchor with crown logo dates the movement in this clock to around 1860, I believe.   The dark hardwood case is 37 inches long with old glass in the porthole door and the well covering.  The celluloid dial is yellowed and the center brass ornament tarnished.  I cannot convince it to run for more than a minute or two; it strikes on the hour and half-hour.  There is a small piece of trim missing on the front bottom of the door, but its absence is not particularly noticeable.  $150-$250.
