Another Garage Sale Find

This German wall clock, with oak case and beveled plate glass, was purchased for $10 at a garage sale several years ago. The couple I bought it from had been school teachers on a US Military base in Germany during the 1950's. They had bought it while there at a rummage sale. They told me that it did not run. I took the movement out and found that the escapement had come apart. This probably shook loose during transport, at some point. I had everything back together in a few minutes and it now runs fine, chimes, and keeps excellent time.

 

There is no maker's name evident on this clock.
