eBay I do not know very much about this clock and I can not guarantee that it works. Therefore I am selling it as FOR PARTS - NOT WORKING!. The cables are broken and frayed so I can not test the clock. The clock movement assembly, weights and pendulum are very heavy. The cost to ship these parts by UPS will be expensive. I have estimated that it will cost in the neighborhood of $300.The movement assembly weighs apprx 31 lbsThe large weight weighs apprx 29 lbsThe two smaller weights weight apprx 17.5 lbsThe pendulum weighs apprx 6 lbs.The following information below is from Wikipedia. Origins of the companyEngraved initial letters on back of Winterhalder & Hofmeier clocks from Schwaerzenbach, Black Forest, German.The firm Winterhalder Uhrenfabrik was established in 1810 by Thomas Winterhalder. Even his grandfather Nikolaus Winterhalder (1710-1743) made quality Black Forest clocks with wooden cogs and weights from stones.[1] Thomas moved in 1816 with his three sons Matthäus, Karl und Thomas to Friedenweiler where he lived in an old house ("Altes Haus") which he had bought from a monastery. Matthäus Winterhalder (1799–1863) took over the work rooms in 1830. In 1850 his relative Johannes Hofmeier (1802-1876) from Schwaerzenbach, which is nowadays a part of Titisee Neustadt joined and they formed the company Winterhalder & Hofmeier. Clocks were marked from there on with the initials W & H Sch.Antique precision clocksClocks from Winterhalder & Hofmeier are mechanical precision clocks with the quality standards of Black Forest craftsmanship [4][5] The numbers of the dial face are in Roman numerals. The dial face is embraced by wood.[6] The clocks can be identified by the engraved W & H SCH initial letters. Most of the clocks were made from 1850 to 1933. Bracket clocks and grandfather clocks were mainly exported to the UK, Ireland and the United States, others to Russia, Japan and China. Nowadays these clocks are demanded in the antique trade on the former North American export market.[7][8] A private collection of Winterhalder & Hofmeier clocks is located in Schwaerzenbach, a part of the city of Titisee Neustadt.[9]On Aug-19-23 at 13:37:24 PDT, seller added the following information: !!!!!
