Lenzkirch miniature RA, ca 1870’s. The time and striking 8-day
movement is signed, has a serial number on the back plate #368926, and is signed Lenzkirch there also. It is clean and should be running.
The two-piece porcelain dial has hairlines, the hands are correct, and it has a long RA pendulum with the porcelain insert marked,
“R-A”. It has a brass back plate and the movement slides into slots, then held with thumb screws. The 32-inch-high walnut case is
very attractive with ebony trim, an ornament on the top and 3 finials on the base. There are three glasses and a porcelain beat scale.
It has been in storage for 50 years so needs to be serviced. The Lenzkirch book has many similar RA’s pictured. $400-$600.
