Description

Herschede large tambour, ca. 1925. A 21.5-inch-wide mahogany case with a dark and patinaed finish. Cleaning it up might bring out the grain; it is 10.5 inches tall. I have no model name for this clock, but it is stamped “2015” on the bottom; there is no label, other than the award medal on the back of the case (they put that on all their clocks). There is a flat, beveled glass in the brass sash over a silvered engraved dial in excellent condition with proper hands. The 8-day time, strike, and Westminster chime movement is running and striking the hours and chiming on five metal rods with a nice tone. $100–$200. Andy Dervan tells me the "2015" is the model number, in the Hershede catalog for 1924. It was an expensive model ($72). Thanks Andy!
