Elmer Stennes dwarf tall case, ca. 1980?  The maple or cherry case is 60 inches tall with the center finial.  The finish is clean and unmarred; the number ‘2’ is stamped into the case in several places, but I did not see a date indication.  The metal dial has two small chips and is signed.  The time-and-strike movement was made in Germany and counts the hours with a bim-bam strike on four rods and announces the half-hour with a single bim-bam strike. It is running and striking.  There are two large, tarnished brass weights for the pull-up movement.  Not fancy, but nice. A similar example sold at Tremont Auctions last year for $700.  $500–$750.
