"Factory-produced clocks were first credited to the Lenzkirch Uhrenfabrik, located in the small town of Lenzkirch in the German Black Forest region.

Clock Measures approximately: 13" tall to highest part of "roof"
9.5" wide at top
8.30" wide at bottom
5.40" deep
5.75" long PENDULUM
Weighs approximately: 8 pounds 2 ounces. Due to weight, this will be costly to ship. I'm only giving one shipping option: Priority Mail which gets it to you in 2-3 days. Standard Post gets it to you between 7-10 days, but Standard Post items will be thrown around plenty by postal workers and most likely get to you severely damaged, so I don't offer this option.
Condition: No cracks or holes in the Wood anywhere. Wood is in good condition although a few minor parts have come unglued--so instead of me gluing and perhaps using the wrong type of glue, I will leave them unattached for the buyer to repair. One piece of side wood used for decoration is missing--I have the three other pieces. Top UNDERSIDE of wood "roof" needs to be re-glued, as well, and one part of it has come off. Pendulum Not Attached--does not appear broken, must have been unattached for safe movement. Pendulum is Brass and needs polishing/cleaning. Dial is scratched from Hands in circular pattern. Original owner wrote with pen and pencil on the inside of the back case, but I cannot make it out. Clock has NOT been cleaned. Wood portion of the Clock is dusty and needs dusting/polishing. Like all Antiques, may still need cleaning and/or servicing. Any defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as "described".
Item sold "AS-IS"--see photos. Please ask questions prior to bidding. NO REFUNDS.
Please make payment within 2 days of Bid Acceptance. Thank you.
I only ship on Fridays. I give myself a 5 day window to ship. PLEASE let me know if you need to get it sooner.
Shipping Fee's INSIDE & OUTSIDE USA: My shipping Fee's are a guestimate that reflect a combination of Packaging, Insurance, and eBay Shipping Fee's. Please know that prices have gone up at the Post Office AND Insurance is costly + eBay now charges Sellers a 9% of Shipping Fee fee for charging the Buyer for shipping. For example, if I charge you $15.00 for shipping, eBay charges me 9% of $15.00 = $1.35. These eBay shipping fee's are built into my price. If I overcharged you on Shipping, Packaging, and eBay Shipping Fee's, I am happy to refund any overage over $5.00 after fee's.
Shipping OUTSIDE USA: I ship EXPRESS MAIL which is more expensive, but is the only way I can properly INSURE & Track. In some cases, Customs may hold your item and make you pay additional fee's before they release the item to you. Seller is not responsible for these charges and they are not included in any way with the sale. International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and International laws.
