Catalog Description:

C.1896, Polyphon Musical Tall Clock, with Lenzkirch time and strike movement to actuate the music on the hour, in good restored condition. The fancy Alt Deutsch case is of oak, with spindles and shelves on the bottom, and gingerbread and finials on the top of the base and on the clock case itself. The well made Lenzkirch movement, serial number 1,075,396, strikes the hours on a coiled flat wire gong, and a cantilevered lever off the front of the movement, pulls a string that releases the governor of the music box. Movement has some scratches on the rear that do not affect operation. The Polyphone double comb music box, serial No.62493, plays 11 inch center drive discs, and there are a total of 8 discs with the unit. Tunes include popular Marches and polkas of the day. Note the clock case portion is removed for shipment; it aligns on 2 dowels. Governor release is tricky to set up, but once correct works quite well. Total height 88 inches
