AN E COMMERCE AUDIO PLAYER CONTAINING 4 SOUND FILE LINKS IS ATTACHED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS LISTING TO ASSIST YOU IN REVIEWING THE HERSCHEDE GRAND GOTHIC CANTERBURY/WESTMINSTER CHIMES CLOCK NUMBER 10 - 1920. FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF THE FINEST RESTORED ANTIQUE CHIME CLOCKS. FOR THAT SPECIAL GIFT OCCASION.

OR FOR ONES OWN ENJOYMENT. IS THE RARE HERSCHEDE CATHEDRAL GOTHIC CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 10 - 1920. FEATURING BOTH THE WESTMINSTER AND CANTERBURY CHIME MELODIES.

THE HERSCHEDE 10 IS ABSOLUTELY THE FINEST TO BE FOUND, AND THE ONLY ANTIQUE CABINET CLOCK WITH BOTH CANTERBURY AND WESTMINSTER CHIMES. THE FRANK HERSCHEDE CLOCK COMPANY HAD EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO THE CANTERBURY CHIME MELODY, AND FEATURED THE CANTERBURY IN THEIR FABULOUS TALL CASE TUBULAR CHIME CLOCKS. HERSCHEDE ALSO PRODUCED CABINET CLOCKS WITH THE CANTERBURY, BUT NOT VERY MANY, SO WHENEVER I FIND ONE I ACQUIRE IT TO RESTORE.

NOTE THAT THE CANTERBURY CHIMES UTILIZES SIX NOTES, THEREFORE SIX CHIME RODS RATHER THAN FOUR. ALSO NOTE THAT THE HERSCHEDE CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 10 STRIKES THE HOUR ON A SPLENDID THREE-NOTE-CHORD AS OPPOSED TO ONLY A SINGLE NOTE. TAKE A LISTEN VIA THE E COMMERCE AUDIO PLAYER FILES AT THE BEGINNING OF MY LISTING. TURN UP YOUR VOLUME AND ENJOY THE MELODIES TO THE FULLEST. ON THE EXPANSIVE ENGRAVED SILVERED DIAL FACE ARE THREE WINDING HOLES, ONE EACH FOR CHIME - NEAR NUMERAL 4 - TIME - NEAR NUMERAL 6 - AND HOUR STRIKE - NEAR NUMERAL 8. THE QUARTER HOUR CHIME MELODY CAN BE SILENCED BY MOVING A LEVER NEAR NUMERAL 3. IN THE SILENT POSITION, ONLY THE HOUR COUNT WILL BE SOUNDED. THE SMALL HOLE ABOVE NUMERAL 12 PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE TIME ADJUSTMENT SLOW/FAST. THE CHIME MELODY - WESTMINSTER OR CANTERBURY - CAN BE SELECTED VIA TURNING A SHAFT NEAR NUMERAL 5. TAKE A LOOK AT THE DIAL FEATURES VIA HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTO 4.

THIS IS A GRAND FULL SIZE CATHEDRAL GOTHIC MAHOGANY CABINET CHIME CLOCK SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, SHELF OR WALL BRACKET DISPLAY - IDEAL FOR A SPECIAL GIFT, YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 12 W X 15 H X 8 1/2 D. THE HERSCHEDE CHIME 10 - 1920.

IS ONE OF THE FINEST ANTIQUE. AND THE SOLE CHOICE FOR A CHIME CLOCK EQUIPPED WITH BOTH WESTMINSTER AND CANTERBURY CHIMES! THE CLOCKS AGED SATIN PATINA OF DARK RI.
