Gustav Becker Wall Clock circa 1899!

Take a look at this gorgeous antique wall clock. It is a Gustav Becker clock, made in Germany in late 1899. I submitted photos of the clock and the movement to NAWCC (National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors) and received the following information from them. The serial number dates the clock to late 1899. The movement at some time, was converted from a dual weight movement to a single weight movement for reasons unknown. The main part of the case is original to the clock, but the finials at the top and bottom are replacement pieces. In addition, the hands, face, and weight are replacements. Still after over 100 years, this magnificent timepiece keeps great time and will be the showpiece of any room it hangs in. $400.

January Additions

 First we have a pair of upholstered dining chairs by Kindel Furniture. These are high-end chairs which were produced starting in 1978. They are priced at $675 for the pair. Next is a gorgeous vintage secretary desk which will need a little bit of cleanup. It is a vintage reproduction of an even older desk , but is at least 70 years old. $800.

These funky mid-century nesting tables by Jonken are a real bargain.
Nice pair of BOSE 101 speakers.

Our little rocking horse makes
whinny and galloping sounds when you press his ears.
