Antique American Clocks
F. Kroeber Clock Co. metal novelty alarm clock, ca. 1880.
Although Ly's book,
, is comprehensive, Franz Kroeber was prolific, and this clock did not make it into Ly's compendium.
It stands 9 inches
tall with a nickel finish over a bronze detailed casting with a 3.5-inch signed paper dial and a beveled flat glass.
the nickel finish is worn to where you can see the copper base.
The 1-day backwind movement is housed in a nickeled tin can
with an alarm function that you set and wind on the back.
Both the clock and the alarm are working.
I could find several
similar models in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, but not this model.
