Antique American Clocks
German bracket clock, ca. 1900?
I cannot find a maker mark or label anywhere on this clock, but it
was likely made around 1900; Winterhalder and Hofmeier made a very similar clock. These were made for the English market.
16-inch hardwood case (with top brass finial) shows little wear and has a fine lacquer finish.
The two-part brass dial is mounted
onto the thick brass plate movement, the springs are in brass drums; it does not appear to be a fusee.
The brass face plate
is tarnished and looks dark, and there is some discoloring to the silvered chapter ring from zealous cleaning.
There was some
lettering on the inner dial disk but I can't make it out.
The clock is running strongly and striking two cathedral gongs
(ting-tang) on the quarter-hours once, twice, thrice, and four times, followed by counting the hours on the hour.
