F. Kroeber Clock Co. “Vienna Regulator No. 51” ca. 1888. This clock is shown on page 469 of Ly’s book on Kroeber clocks; the case is 47 inches finial tip to finial tip, in polished walnut
with ebonized trim and three old/original glasses. The center finial appears to be a replacement. The porcelain dial has
some very fine hairlines in the outer ring with proper hands and a seconds bit. The 8-day time-only movement is signed and running,
driven by a brass weight. There is no label. No sales on LiveAuctioneers and only one sale on the Antique Clocks Identification
and Price Guide, in 2003 for $500. $350-$600.
Thanks to Kent Kroeber and Dale Beske for helping me out with this!
