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.
