85.      $250

Vienna two-weight regulator, ca. 1880.  There is a logo stamped on the back of the movement but I can’t identify it.  The 52-inch case has an old finish with patina, along with numerous carvings and burl panels; note the king’s face below the crest.  The door glass is newer, the two-part porcelain dial is badly damaged and repaired on the outer ring and probably should be replaced; note the seconds bit and pierced hands.  The weights are a bit banged up.  It is running and striking on the hours and half-hours on a wire gong.  $250-$500.
