18.       $175

F. Kroeber “Polaris”, ca. 1884.  A 20-inch walnut case with a clean finish and old glass with a gold stencil.  The dial is paper with some staining, the hands are correct.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking a cathedral gong.  There is an alarm (untested) that strikes on a nickel bell. The clock is regulated by a Kroeber pendulum.  There is a label on the back behind plastic.  A nice example; there are no recent sales of this uncommon model.  $175-$250.
