Unsigned two-weight Vienna, ca. 1880.  A 42-inch case from finial tip to finial tip, with contrasting trim on the front.  The door glass looks like a modern replacement.  The porcelain dial has numerous cracks and chips, the fancy hands look right.  There are two small, old unequal weights driving the time and half-hour strike, regulated by a large hollow pendulum bob.  The tolerances are very close on this clock, and it is difficult to get the movement correctly placed between the front glass and the back wall; it will run briefly when everything is just so, but I think the movement needs attention.  It’s more of a looker than a runner.  $150–$300.
