17.       $500

Brass one-weight Vienna regulator, ca. 1900?  The brass case is 50 inches long and in good condition, with light tarnish/oxidation over most surfaces.  I don’t see any serious problems, but the base is split along a seam and slightly out of kilter.  The glasses are newer, the side glasses need to be secured into position somehow. The porcelain two-part dial is flawless, with good hands.  The 8-day, time-only movement is unsigned, driven by one brass weight and regulated by a large brass pendulum bob; it is running without problem.  An impressive clock but very heavy.  Horton’s sold this clock to the current owner in 2014 for $975; a Gustav Becker brass clock sold in January 2020 for $650 at Vogt.  $500-$1000.
