18.       $200

Altdeutsch 3-weight Vienna regulator, 1870-1895.  A 44-inch walnut or cherry case that has had the finish removed but not reapplied.  The cornice and crest are modern replacements; it is missing the bottom center finial.  The Corinthian columns sit on carved vases with flourishes at the top; the base is also nicely carved.  The door glass is wavy; there are two side glasses.  The two-part porcelain dial has some fractures. The movement is unmarked, with two wire gongs to sound the last hour and the quarter hour (petite sonnerie); it is stuck on four strikes for the quarter-hour but is progressing through the hour strike correctly.  It won’t run for more than a minute or two and needs service.  The weights are pretty dented up.  $200-$400.
