F. Kroeber Florida Walnut shelf clock, circa 1888

Made by Florenz Friederick Martin Kroeber (1840-1911), New York circa 1888. Brass 8-day movement with time and strike on the hour only. Striles on a nice nickel plated bell. Half-deadbeat escapement. The movement is stamped F Kroeber New York, pat. June 26 & October 6, 1874. The movement is a bit unusual in that the strike count wheel is attached directly to the strike side main wheel. The clock has a Jacot's Regulator dial adjustment pendulum bob. The movement has been bushed as needed and is in nice condition, as is the case. There is no label and some indication that the case may have been refinished, but not recently. The clock was identified as the Florida from a reprint of the 1888 Kroeber catalog.
