Catalog Description:

C.1880, F. Kroeber Clock Co., New York, "Vienna No. 51", 8-day weight timepiece, with restorations. A handwritten card inside the case indicates a collector in Roanoke offered 1750 dollars for the clock (and the consignor should have taken it). The mixed hardwood and walnut case with ebony trim has been stripped of it finish. The movement is die stamped "F. Kroeber"; movement is running but is a bit oily and would benefit from service. The bottom drop half finial is missing. The top finial is missing its stem and tip. The door glass is old with imperfections, and appears original. The period weight has dings and dents, especially on the bottom. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original; bezel and hands have been painted with gold paint, but it will clean off with toluene. Height 43 inches
