Description
French Striking 1/4 Repeater Alarm Gilt Mask Dial Carriage Clock Shreve & Co San Francisco.This clock is in very good running condition and has kept time since I set it about 14 hours ago. When you press the button at the top, the 2-hammers strike 2 thick beautiful gongs, the hours and then the quarters up to the second quarter with deep rich tones. I have only seen it strike the third quarter a few times so it needs an adjustment. Here is a link to see it in action; https://youtu.be/w0nVkdX1Rkg In passing, it also strikes the hours and when I rotate the hands past the half hour mark, I can hear a slight click which tells me it is possibly supposed to strike the halves as well, and, I did hear it do just that but only one time since I have had it and it was a "double gong". There is a faint hairline in the dial at the center which is extremely difficult to see without magnification and I could not pic it up in the photos. The handle is not tight enough to stand up on its own. The case is in very good condition including all 5 original (4 beveled) glass panels which have no chips, cracks, fleabites or scratches. Clock measures 5 3/8" high not including handle and weighs almost 5 lbs. Comes with its original key.
