Description

As is, as found: This is a really nice clock and in good shape for it's age. This is the kind of clock you would have probably found in a mansion or old time lawyers office.  It was made by The Kienzle Clock Factory in the Black Forest of Germany just prior to the first world war.  It is a large clock measuring 19" tall x 12 ¾" tall x 8 oe" deep and has a large heavy duty, highly complex signed Kienzle Westminster chime clock movement that is running and chiming at this time.  We have not serviced this clock and so are selling it as is. We are able to keep this clock running and chiming, but since it hasn't been serviced in a long time, it could need work in order to keep it going.

The case structure and finish is in overall nice condition. It is somewhat aged and worn, but probably no more than what you would expect for a nearly 120 year old clock. 

The dial is a silvered (with real silver) over brass type.  These by nature are usually stained and worn over time.  This one has the age, wear, and staining that you would naturally expect to find on a clock of this age, giving it a genuine antique appearance.

Anybody who sees this clock cannot help but be impressed.

It comes complete with the original pendulum and a key that fits.

Payment

makes it pretty easy to pay for purchases in just about any way you choose. Any payment that requires time to process (clear) will delay shipping. Email us with questions concerning other forms of payment in addition to those that offers.

Shipping

Most clocks will be shipped within 5 business days of received payment. We like to give each clock sold a final test run and observation before packing. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience. All items are carefully packaged with around 1 oe" of packing material between your purchase and the box. All items are shipped insured. We never anticipate damage but in the event that an incident occurs, we will help with insurance claims as much as possible. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem. Normally, all shipping costs are either based on package size and weight, or covered by a specified flat rate. Smaller items can be combined to save shipping costs. Because clocks require large boxes, Priority Mail is usually far to expensive. Therefore,we quote either FedEx or UPS prices in most cases. *For any shipments other than the lower 48 United States, contact us first for a shipping quote before bidding. Do not go by the shipping calculator.*

Terms of Sale

All sales are final, so please be sure that you will be happy by reviewing the pictures and descriptions that we provide.  Antiques clocks are delicate and very difficult to ship properly, and also very expensive to ship. We honestly want you to be happy. We try to keep an excellent feedback rating by being fair and honest. We try to describe all items accurately so that you pretty much know exactly what to expect when your purchase arrives. It should be understood before bidding that all antique clocks, unless otherwise noted, have nicks, tarnished brass, stains, minor dents, possibly touch ups and minor scratches on the glass, all of which are normally acquired from long term honest use. It is nearly impossible to find one in "mint" condition. If a clock has damage from misuse, it will be noted. If a clock is sold as "in running condition," it means that we have test run it before listing it and feel confident that it will run for you.

About Us

Mainly, we buy, sell, repair, restore and collect clocks. Once in awhile we do offer other types of antiques and collectibles for sale, but mainly clocks are what we're about. We spend quite a bit of time traveling around the northeast buying clocks and clock parts, and many times we are able to buy large quantities from clock collector estates or clock dealers who are downsizing or closing out altogether. We are a very small, family run enterprise.. Ben handles all repairs in house. He has been restoring clocks since 1976, and a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors since 1978. Jen and Lana handle all of the pictures, listings, marketing and design, as well as some of the restoration work. We all help out in the packing and shipping department and are dedicated to making sure your clock is packaged carefully and properly in order to arrive safely. We also send an instruction sheet by email for each clock sold.

Contact Us

You may notice that since joining in 2000 our feedback has been positive. We only receive feedback about a third of the time, which means we have actually had several thousand positive transactions over the past 23 years that are not recorded in the feedback system. We definitely don't want any bad feedbacks, so we try to describe everything exactly as it is and if we do something wrong, we will make it right.  If you email us on Saturday, itt may be Monday before you hear back from us. We do not use our computers on Sunday, the Lord's day, but will answer any emails Monday through Saturday and although we do not expect any problems, we will do whatever we can to resolve any issues. Please do not wait until late in an sale to ask questions (we may not be here). *Also, please do not ask us to falsify shipping records for international shipping. Honesty is always the best policy.*
