German RA that has a lot of pizzazz. This 8-day movement is signed, “Kienzle / Prima D R Patent”, strikes half hours and hours on a coil gong attached to the backplate. It has a very nice two-piece porcelain dial, porcelain beat scale and an elaborately decorated brass pendulum. The walnut case is 42” high, has decorative half columns each side of the door, viewing glasses on the case sides, and a top piece that fits in one slot. The iron backplate and the gong base both have the Kienzle insignia embossed. The case has five original finials plus the headpiece and a large eagle also original. The movement is clean, and no doubt will run but has been in a storage warehouse since the 1960’s. $200-$350.
