Dad's first grandfather clock
Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a case like this one? My father passed this spring. We're slowly clearing out the house as mom moved to an apartment. He build two grandfather clocks, the first of which is now in my living room. The other is a fairly standard Emperor 120 with a moon dial movement. I always liked this clock due to its simplicity and clean lines. I've been trying to find another example of the case (I know the movement is Hermle, from Emperor Clock company, around the late 1960s or early 1970s). jThere's a good chance it was built from magazine or "mail a self-address stamped envelope" plans using stock moldings and cabinet plywood. There's some discoloration on the face due to 60 years of daylight savings time but otherwise it is in very good condition. Seems to be gaining about a minute a day but I can probably work that out with adjustments. To set the hands you have to lift up on the entire top and prop it up, it is hinged on the rear.
