Gustav Becker 3-weight Vienna Regulator, 1880-1885. A 50-inch Vienna with significant restoration. Both the top and the bottom are modern replacements, both nicely done but the bottom does not match the case closely enough to suit
me. The crest is a better match. That said, it looks good under less than photo lighting. The two-part brass and
silvered dial shows considerable wear and tarnish. The pendulum bob is patterned, the weights need to be polished. Unfortunately,
the signed movement will not run. The serial number dates it to 1880-85. $200-$400.
