Beautful, Gustav Becker, 2 Weight, Vienna Regulator Wall Clock For Sale

---

Up for sale is a Gustav Becker, 2 weight, Vienna Regulator wall clock. It has an 8-day, time and strike movement andran well for several months in my son's office, recently. It is a very nice clock, but as with all antique clocks, it comes with some issues which I will address first.

The crest is not original to the cabinet, but it is period andvintage. The finials are (3) also not original to the cabinet. Those are the major issues I have observed, but please remember, it is an antique that has had many years of service.

The case is walnut and the finish appears to be mostly original. The cabinet is large, approximately 43 inches talland over 17 inches wide (oversize?). The 8-day, 2 weight movement was manufactured by Gustav Becker. The serial number on the movement is #766121 which places the manufacturing date between 1885-1890. The cabinet and the movement appear to be original to the to each other and I see no extra screw holes in the backboard. There are two stampings on the back of the movement, one for a metal awarded to Becker in France and the other has the Becker Name. I tried to show these in one of the photos. It has a 7 ” white porcelain dial in very good condition and it strikes on a bar every half hour. As a rule, I do not polish my clocks as I prefer the patina from years of use to the shine of new clocks, therefore, this clock may not shine like some would like, but it will polish up very nice if that is desired, but I leave that to the new owner. The weights have a few small dents consistent with the age and use of the clock.

I have described everything to the best of my knowledge. As a collector, my opinion as to the current condition of a clock is my very best effort to disclose any details regarding the clock being altered or not in its original condition.I do not consider myself an expert on clocks, but you can offer with the confidence as you are being provided with good, knowledgeable information.If anything, I tend to providetoo much detail. I am selling the clock as is, no guarantees, for parts or restoration. Please examine each photo closelyas they also represent my description. If you have any concerns, questions, or doubts that need clarification, PLEASE ask prior to offerding and I will try to answer them as quickly as possible. A winding crank (not original) will be included.

SHIPPING: Antique clocks are not equipped for many of the rigors of modern shipping.The best option I have found is a professional packer who understands just how delicate an antique clock is. This method is sadly, not perfect, but I believe it is the best chance for the clock to reach the buyer absent shipping damage.I have found a packer that I intend to use exclusively.Please understand, using a pro is more expensive, involves additional time, requires extra packing material, all of which translates into increased shipping costs, but it maysave the clock from damage and isn't that what we are all striving for?Clocks are often double boxed and/or shipped in heavier gauge cardboard, if the packer deems it necessary. I leave it solely to his descretion and I willingly pay any additional cost. Insuranceis that covers the price of the clock is also includedin my flatrate and my proheunderwrites it, so he has an addedincentive to getit right. This gives the clock the best chance of arriving in as sold condition. If the entire cost is ever under my rate by more than $5, (it only hapened once) I will gladly refund the difference to the buyer. I do not make any money off shipping and handling!!!
