Gustav Becker 2-weight Vienna Regulator, 1880-1885.
A 43-inch two-weight Vienna in a light-colored
wood in excellent condition.
I believe all three glasses are original; the two-part porcelain dial is signed (Karl Klose, Vöslau),
a town south of Vienna.
The brass shell weights are engraved, the top and bottom case-pieces are carved and original, the finials
are likely replacements, well-matched.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed Gustav Becker with the serial number 488559,
dating it to 1880-1885.
It is running and striking a chime rod on the hours and half-hours.
A very nice example.
