Description
18 inches tall and 16 inches wide. Original dark walnut finish, probably walnut and ash. Twisted rope carvings are across top and front. Fancy carved shield on top; carved finials and heavy scrolled leaves on side corners. The lower front door deeply carved. 8 day pinned movement strikes the hour on wire gong. Old hand and pendulum, old nickel plated dial pan stamped 1859, replaced paper dial. Strong paper label inside reads "Fuller & Kroeber, Manufacturer of American Clocks No.2 5 John St, New York". This is a label error. Florence Kroeber and his father-in-law, Nicholas Muller, opened a clock store at 25 John St, NY about 1865. In1868 Muller & Kroeber opened a store at 68 Beekman St. Their clocks sold with "Fuller & Koeber" labels. This is a very desirable Kroeber collector clock. Runs and strikes but could use a servicing..
