Mauthe/German, arts and crafts designed wall swinger, ca 1920’s. Signed 8-day movement is mounted to a slide in seat board. With the pendulum removed it has been running a long time. I don’t hang the pendulums on this collection for they have to be dry having been in storage since the 1970’s. Gong is behind the movement. Very nice pendulum, German key, and beat scale below the bottom door. The top glass is bowed, bottom glass is broken, otherwise all the parts are intact and original. There is no way to know if removable tops and finials are original to these German clocks. Excellent 32-inch-tall walnut case, lift up door in the bottom to access the pendulum. Porcelain dial ring, brass inner dial and original hands. This might be the best clock in this collection, at least it looks nice and clean. $150-$250.
