Gazo Family Clock Co. “San Marcos” ca. 1980. This is the later version of this model, Gazo’s most popular. The 37-inch oak case has a light and intentionally aged finish,
with a convex glass over the etched brass dial with cartouche numbering and fancy hands. The name “Gazo” is on the dial above
the ‘VI’. The 8-day time, strike, and chime movement was made in West Germany (probably Jauch) and will play Westminster chimes
or a second chime I do not recognize, on 7 chime rods, on the quarter-hours. It counts the hours on 4 chime rods. The
chime selector is at the top of the dial and can also be turned off. The pendulum bob is proper. It is running without
difficulty and chiming and striking. These clocks do not often come east of California, where they are very popular. The
Gazo Family Clock Co. is no longer in business. Several recent sales on LiveAuctioneers, for disparate prices ($1000, $450). $300–$600.
