eBay HUGE ANTIQUE LENZKIRCH 4 BELLS 3/4 WESTMINSTER CHIME MANTEL CLOCK. SERVICED. HUGE ANTIQUE LENZKIRCH 4 BELLS 3/4 WESTMINSTER CHIME MANTEL CLOCK. SERVICED. Description OFFERED FOR SALE IS ELABORATE AND VERY RARE MAHOGANY MANTEL CLOCK MADE FOR ENGLISH MARKET WITH ORIGINAL LENZKIRCH MOVEMENT. THE CLOCK HAS ORIGINAL FINISH IN GREAT CONDITION. ALL CAST BRASS ADORNMENTS WERE POLISHED AND CLEAR COATED. THE RED CLOTH ON THE SIDES AND THE BACK IS NEW. THIS MOVEMENT IS BUILT LIKE THE QUARTER CHIME MOVEMENT. IT HAS A CHIME CYLINDER AND THE CLOCK PLAYS WESTMINSTER MELODY ON 4 NESTING BELLS. THE CLOCK PLAYS ON 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD QUARTER, CORRESPONDINGLY 4, 8 AND 12 NOTES (1,2 AND 3 SEQUENCES). WHEN THE MINUTE HAND APPROACHES THE HOUR, THE CYLINDER IS MOVED FORWARD. ON THE FULL HOUR, THE PINS ON THE EDGE OF THE CYLINER LIFT THE STRIKE HAMMER AND THE BELL HAMMERS STAY DEACTIVATED. STILL THERE ARE 4 WESTMINSTER SEQUENCES IN TOTAL. BECAUSE THE CLOCK PLAYS THEM ON 3 QUARTERS ONLY, THE CLOCK MIX THE SEQUENCES IN THE NEXT HOUR BUT 4 NOTES ARE PLAYED IN THE RIGHT ORDER IN EACH SEQUENCE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE 2 TRAIN WESTMINSTER CLOCK VERSION WITH BELLS. THE MOVEMENT HAS BEEN DISASSEMBLED FOR CLEANING. ALL THE BUSHINGS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I SHOWED IT ON THE LAST PHOTOS BEFORE COMPLETING REASSEMBLY. THE MOVEMENT IS NOT STAMPED BUT MADE BY LENZKIRCH. THOSE WHO KNOW LENZKIRCH MOVEMENTS CAN CONFIRM THIS. THE MOVEMENT IS ORIGINAL TO THIS CASE. COMES WITH ORIGINAL PENDULUM AND LENZKIRCH KEY. DIMENSIONS: 26"H, 15-1/2"W, 9"D.
