More Information



Ernst Kobold of Wandsbek Germany several trademarks registered 1921. He registered a clock factory in about that same year.

First let me explain that I am not a clock expert. I will do my best to describe the piece...condition, details, etc. to the best of my abilities.
Please look closely at the pictures, read the description carefully and ask questions if needed. Thanks!

Beautiful Grandfather clock that came to us in a estate purchase. I've had this for several years. The above information was found about the maker and I'm guessing this clock dates to the 1920's. Nice heavy movement.
Very thick plates and gears. I took off the clock weights as we were moving the piece and wanted to secure the mechanism. Please note that the previous owner cut the hook part of the one weight for reason's unknown. Believe this can be replaced. (See photos). Also they show some minor dents.  Heavy brass.
The pendulum stem and the suspension spring etc. are in very good condition.

Dimensions are: 80" Tall, 17.75" Wide, 22.5" at widest (cornice),12" depth at cornice, 10" depth at cornice
                    
The back of the clock works has a makers mark, Kobold, the numbers 10616 and there is also a funny little guy that looks like a sun god (just my interpretation ;)  The face is a brilliant brass with black hands. Hoping that the pictures tell the story.

Extremely good condition, looks very clean and works well for it's age. The previous owner took very good care of it. Very pretty chimes. Overall it looks like a heavy duty movement, lots of brass.

Please see and enlarge all photos and email with any questions prior to purchase.

Thanks for looking
