Lenzkirch RA wall clock, ca 1876. Walnut veneered case is 37 tall, (missing bottom finials), carved top and tail, finials top and bottom, three glasses, and ebony trim on the top, base, finials, and case edges. Two-piece porcelain dial, porcelain RA bob insert, and porcelain beat scale. The hands are fancy, bob is brass and nickel, and an old key is included. The brass 8-day movement is mounted to a brass backboard mounting bracket.   A coil gong is mounted to the same bracket. The movement is signed, “Lenzkirch / A.U.G. / 34897”.  This clock is similar to many others pictured and written about in the book, “Lenzkirch Clocks / The Unsigned Story”, by George A. Everett, and also similar to many of the clocks in this collection. Molding on bottom left is inside the case, all finials are missing, but otherwise just needs cleaning and service. $200-$350.
