Description
The raised design on the case is a grape vine, very similar to the case made by Seth Thomas as the REX model. We have also had similar cases by Tiffany Studios. This German bronze case is heavy, well detailed and of the highest quality. The brass arched dial is extra nice with subsidiary dials for F/S and Chime/Silent; also original hands. The robust 8-day movement is identical to a Winterhalder and Hofmeier, however is marked "HH". The clock strikes on 4 coiled flat wire gongs and sounds the hours on a 5th. Height 14Ó $1,500-$2,000
