GUSTAV BECKER FREE SWINGER IN OAK

 

 This is from the famous Gustav Becker factory and it has the quality, design, and material which made them a leader in the clock industry in Europe.  This is what is referred to as a free swinger but with a twist.  Usually the bottom portion, where the pendulum is located, is open.  This than is the free swinger.  This has that same appearance except this bottom section is enclosed.  Whatever name you would like to give this clock, it is a good One. This is a good size clock at 30 inches long and 16 inches wide.

 

It is all original, including the pendulum and other that the typical nicks and burses from the past 130 years, she is ready for your home.  The front is in an Oak veneer and the rest is in another similar hardwood.  It is time and strike, of eight day in duration, there are no other issues.   The movement is original, it is signed and correct for this case.  While it is running and keeping good time at some point it would help to receive a good cleaning.  This is not necessary for the next few years.
