Description

F. Kroeber “Japanese”, ca. 1875. A rare and unusual model, standing 25 inches tall with the impressive top center finial. Shown in Ly, Kroeber Clocks on page 305, everything here looks correct and original, including the door glass. The case is walnut with ebonized trim pieces and a figurehead in the center; the dial is unsigned paper with wear, the hands differ from those shown in the catalog illustrations in Ly but are period. The signed Kroeber movement, 8-day time-and-strike is running and striking on a brass bell, with a single barrel pendulum. No label. Only one old sale on LiveAuctioneers. $200–$600.
