Antique American Clocks July 2021
84. $200
Gustav Becker two-weight Vienna, ca. 1875. A 42-inch case veneered in diagonally applied
walnut veneer on the door, a carved base, and a burled walnut inset in the backboard. The crest is missing, and the door glass
is modern. The two-part porcelain dial is flawless with proper hands. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and
has a serial number of 249550; it is running and striking a wire gong on the hours and half-hours. There are two embossed brass
weights and a large brass pendulum bob. The drop finials are likely replacements. $200-$400.
