F. Kroeber Cabinet Clock, circa 1868

This is an early 8-day time and strike cabinet clock with alarm, made by Florenz Friederick Martin Kroeber, New York, circa 1868. This lovely little clock is almost totally enclosed by the case. Access is gained to the pendulum for adjustment through a small removable panel "guarded" by a "wild beast". I believe the clock is almost completely original except perhaps the escapement verge which may have originally been a half-deadbeat. The clock ran OK as is and was serviced and left the way it was found as it apparently had run fine this way for a long time.
