Black Forest glass picture clock, ca. 1900.  On the back of a side-cover is a stamped name, Franz Weigl, Uhrmacher, along with several hand-written dates, the earliest being 1913.  The frame is 12 inches high and 10.5 inches wide. The gesso frame is cracked at the bottom with a missing chip and the painted image of the village on a river is lifting off the glass, with some scattered losses.  The hands are old.  The wooden frame movement doesn’t want to run but it will strike on a wire gong.  An old pendulum and two typical pinecone weights on mismatched chains complete the ensemble.  $85-$125.
