413. C.1900, French, Chas. Hour, Paris [signed movement], Petit Sonnerie and repeat with alarm in excellent original condition.

414. C.1885, French, Rare Torsion Mystery timepiece in good running order [a vital asset in a clock of this nature].

The dial is new. Included is a piece of zinc plate to sue for another dial; height 56" $2500-3500

425. C.1920 [uncertain date], Connecticut Banjo. Although this clock shows age, it is certainly not 175 years old [although the movement, dial and tablet may well be]. So we are selling it as a later example of a Connecticut banjo. Whoever made it used old veneer on the doors and finished it off pretty well. The mahogany panel in the lower door was not well done, and has bubbled up and the grain is open. 30- hour WW movement runs & strikes; height 35" $1000-1500

426. C.1875, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock in the Alt Deutsch style. The walnut case has full columns on the key lock door, reeded and with nicely carved Corinthian capitals.

The case retains all original buttons, finials and moldings, door key and ivory handle winding crank. The 72 beat movement is of highest Viennese quality, with perfect porcelain dial and original hands, bezel and strike shut-off lever. Note also the delicate 5-spoke star pulleys. Although I found several Serpentine clocks pictured in reference books, the closest one to this clock is in Rick Ortenburger's Book 1, page 44, lower rt. Three weight clocks were made in Vienna for over 100 years, but if you want to own just one, I'd say this one will fill your needs. Height 62" $4000-5000

The rosewood veneer case has the classic straight lines of the early 19th Century, with carved trim at the 4 corners of the door.

I would still classify this as overall excellent, with a high quality Viennese movement, with separate board mounted gong standard, cast bezel [shell and leaf pattern], very delicate hands, and original ivory handle crank; note also fancy star pulleys. One of the 3 weights is slightly short, but not noticeable from a distance; ht 43.5 $3500-4500

431. C.1890, German, Gustav Becker, 3-Weight grand sonnerie wall regulator in the 2nd Baroque style. The attractively carved walnut case uses the popular "double door" look with a single full door. The well made Becker mov't has had the strike hammers broken off and soldered on poorly; otherwise sound but dirty. The cream colored porcelain dial has an etched dial center that matches the pattern on weights and pendulum [note gilding is worn from weights and pend]. Striking on straight steel rods. Side glasses in case are broken [about $5 to replace]. An attractive clock; height 50" $2750-3750

432. C.1875, Austrian, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall clock. This clock is a marriage of a quality Marenzeller movement in a more ordinary walnut case with flat reeded side columns. The case is dirty, having been shellacked over in a dusty area. When the slide mounts were relocated it left 2 holes which have been plugged in the case back. The quality movement has retaining power, finely cut gears and original Marenzeller pulleys and hands. Ht 51" $1000-1500

433. C.1885, German, Gustav Becker, 3-Weight Grand Sonnerie wall regulator in the 2nd Baroque style.

434. C.1880, Austrian, 3-weight grand sonnerie, as-found. Although this clock is mechanically sound, it has some deficiencies that would cause concern to a purist.

The mounting bracket for the movement has been moved and there are extra holes, also the iron gong mount has been raised, creating another set of holes. Has a good Viennese movement with nice white porcelain dial and fancy original hands; rod strike; ht 50" $1000-1500

435. C.1910, German, Lenzkirch [signed] Regulator No. 2, made for railway or laboratory use. Movement is jeweled front and back on both the 'scape wheel and verge. 8-day duration with center seconds.

437. C.1880, Austrian, 3-weight Grand Sonnerie "Dwarf" model with full size dial and short pendulum. Note one wieght matches the fancy etched pendulum, while the other 2 are slightly different, but look OK. Also one pulley does not match; these are small points perhaps, but the purist likes to know these things in advance. Overall this is an excellent clock, recently cleaned and in good running order. Integral top and carvings are original; ht 43" $2000-3000

438. C.1860, Austrian, small 1-Weight Vienna Regulator, with 4.5" porcelain dial, slender numerals and delicate ands. This case has been refinished and the finials are new. however, all work is well done and these small clocks are difficult to find; overall very good+. Ht 33" $800-1000

441. C.1890, Austrian, Gebruder Resch [Remember] 3/4 size 2-weight in excellent restored condition. Note top was made in Austria from another old piece of furniture and looks good, but is ever so slightly lighter than the rest of the clock.

Overall a very good clock with modest restoration and needs only minor attention; ht 44" $800-1200
