Catalog Description:

Gustav Becker 3 weight Vienna Regulator, Serial Number No. 388340, ca 1882. This is another quality refinished case. Made of French walnut it is just a whisker under 50 inches high, and one of the heaviest of this collection of Vienna's. It has a new top, perhaps new finials, and has been strengthened and repaired where and if it was necessary, 3 good glasses. I noticed in allhis Vienna clocks the glasses are tight in the cases, and clean. This caseis proportioned larger than the others. Note the oversized half columns, actuallywider at the top and base than the others. There are some carvings on thebase, grooved dentil like trim around the top and base. This case does nothave the slim, fragile look of your typical Vienna, but has the look of abig wall clock. 8 day movement strikes quarters on 2 long iron rods, andis running real good. All brass has been polished; the movement cleaned andput in excellent working condition.
