83.      $250

Altdeutsch two-weight Vienna regulator, ca. 1870.  This is a beautiful 52-inch carved mahogany case with old glass in the door.  Unfortunately, the crest piece does not quite match, as it appears to be walnut; it is also missing the bottom center finial and some small trim pieces that go around the top at the door.  The two-piece porcelain dial is very clean and has a seconds bit, uncommon in Viennas; with pierced hands.  The 8-day, two-weight movement is unsigned; it is running, striking a wire gong on the hour and half-hour.  $250-$500.
