Status: Sold

Hammond produced the electric "Motored" mechanism for this grandmother clock, housed in a cherry-finished case with a broken arch pediment top, turned finial, and a tall glazed door above a stepped plinth base. The clock has an engraved brass and silvered dial with applied Arabic numerals, a moon-style arched panel with twin globe motifs, and black pierced hands, with the "Hammond Motored" mark stamped on the center disc. Inside the case, a brass pendulum bob hangs from a chain, and the movement plate is stamped "Mason & Sullivan," "Made in Germany," and "Unadjusted," indicating a kit-built clock using a German-made movement sold through the Mason & Sullivan clockmaking company. The case shows clean overall condition with the finish intact and no visible damage to the glass door, hinges, or trim, and the movement, pendulum, and chain all appear present but the weights are missing. The front lower door knob is not original but does fit. Dimensions: 18 3/4"W X 88"H
