German RA wall clock, ca 1880. Walnut veneered case is 37 inches tall, two-piece top with applied decorations and two finials. There are finials on the base; all parts appear to be original to this case. There are three glasses, very attractive half columns each side of the door. It has a porcelain dial ring, cast brass inner dial, original hands, cast brass pendulum bob and porcelain beat scale. There is an old key included. The brass 8-day movement is mounted to a brass backboard mounting bracket. The movement is stamped with a “Jumping Deer” trademark and signed, “Patent”, both designate the maker as, “Hollandia”.   A coil gong is mounted to the same bracket.      This clock is similar to many others pictured and written about in the book, “Lenzkirch Clocks / The Unsigned Story”, by George A. Everett. This clock like many in this collection was still in the same US Army shipping box. Everything was wrapped with papers dated 1974. Some pieces of trim need to be glued, the top ornament, 2 pieces of side moldings pictured under the clock one of which was new and not stained, and the bottom ornament, also pictured. $150-$250.
