more common garden variety, two
pillar, but this one is a more desir-
able disc pendulum model. It is
not as clean as the two large ones,
in fact, not clean at all. The brass
case and the movement need to be
cleaned. It is complete and run-
ning. Signed on the movement,
"Made In Germany". Excellent
porcelain dial and hands. The dial
is signed, "Germany". With the
glass dome in place, it is a little
short of 12" tall. $150-$250.
similar to #599, except the dial is
silver rather than porcelain, and
the movement and brass is clean
and polished. It is running and the
disc is signed, "D.R.G.M.", and
the movement is signed,
"D.R.P.144687 / Made In Ger
when in place the clock is about
12" tall. $150-$250.
similar to previous disc pendu-
lum clocks, except this one is
signed "Gustav Becker /
1844717", which dates the
clock 1904. The bottom of the
suspension is AWOL so you
will need to spend $1 to get a
new suspension. Porcelain
dial, original hands, and a
good brass disc and case. Not
as polished as most, but much
nicer than #599. Kind of,
maybe you should polish it,
and maybe you won't. With the
glass dome it is about 12" high.
$150-$250.

are played by five gong hammers striking on five rods. Pendulum and key
inside. Bowed glass over the wood dial. Brass, or brass colored numerals
are attached to the wood, and it has brass or brass colored hands. The dial
is signed, "Made In Germany". The wood is unknown but stained and
clear coated to give it luster. The wood is shaded dark around the edges,
lighter toward the middle. $100-$200.
Identical to the clock pictured in Ly-
Gustav Becker, page 149. This model
has six large brass pillars with a dome
on top. Polished and clean all over.
Excellent porcelain dial and hands.
Movement is also clean and running,
although I broke the suspension
removing the pendulum. That is why I
do not work on clocks. They cost $1 at
Timesavers. Without the glass dome
in place the clock is 15½" high, with
the dome it is 16½" high. Unusually
nice clock. $200-$300.
Identical to #597, except it is signed
with a trademark that I cannot deci-
pher, and the clock is complete and
running. Like #597 it is clean as a pin
top to bottom. $200-$300.
