Circa: 1953
Condition: Used & Operational
Country of Origin: Germany
Manufacturer: Herschede Hall Clock Company
Here is a very rare Herschede clock with a most unusual alarm bell ringing feature. When the alarm activates, a striker rings the bell one DING at a time for approximately 20 times, then it goes into a solid bell ringing mode until the top brass button is depressed.
The clock itself is signed inside from the mfr with a date of April, 1953.

The clock movement has been serviced and it keeps very accurate time and all functions work as they should.
The dial is wonderful as shown in the photos. There is a separate dial for the second hand and a dial for the alarm setting function. Herschede called this clock the SILENT-TIC as it contains a special design in the clock movement to silence the tic-toc sound and it is barely audible.
It is not often I get to see this Silent-Tic alarm clock from Herschede (a German clock manufacturer who is long out of business back in the 50's). So help yourself to this beauty and enjoy.
There are a few paint chips and brass discolorations here and there on the clock but it is most acceptable when considering its age. What a great collector clock this is with all its uniqueness of operation and style. The clock is signed on the rear cover and front dial with MADE IN GERMANY.
This small clock measures 4.25inches tall by 4 inches wide and 2.25 inches deep. |
