81.       $175

Junghans box chime clock, ca. 1920.  The 39.5-inch case looks like walnut and has been cleaned and given a light finish.  The dial glass is convex and there are six beveled glasses in the door with fluted full columns on each side.  The silvered dial is in good condition.  The movement was not removed from the case; it strikes on four chime rods on each side, playing Westminster chimes on the quarter hours and counting the hours on the other four chime rods. It will not run for more than a few minutes and probably will need service.  The pendulum bob is dented.  Note the Junghans emblem on the inside back wall.  $200-$300.
