Description

Junghans/HAC carved box chime clock, ca. 1910. This is a wonderful clock, with well-carved figures in the front door panel and on the crest – note the two figures seated back to back on each end. Typical of the art arts and crafts movement of the time, the 37-inch case is oak with an old, dark finish. It has a 10-rod chime set, with six for the chime (Trinity or Westminster) and four for the hour count. There is a lever next to the number 3 to set the chime. The silvered dial is in good shape with little wear, the dial glass is convex. The dial bears the Hamburg American Clock company logo of crossed arrows, which is also found on the back of the movement. There is a Junghans emblem on the inside back of the case, consistent with the partnership between these two companies in the early 1900’s; in 1930 HAC merged with Junghans. The chime sounds wonderful, every bit as good as a Sonora chime. It is running fine. $400-$600.
