This is Gustav Becker 2 rod chime grandfather's wall clock. The chimes are clear and very beautiful (dom Gong). It will let you know each 30 minutes and on full hours with the number of gongs what time it is. Movement is in great mechanical condition. The face shows some wear, but the Gustav Becker Crown and Anchor trademark with Silesia brand underneath is clearly visible on the clockwork. The clock is set in an excellent wooden case with some minor scratches on the wood but nothing that can't be easily fixed. Pendulum and winding key included.

Gustav Becker (1819-1885) was a dedicated and successful German clockmaker. In 1850, thoroughly trained in clockmaking in Germany and in Vienna, he established a small clockmaking shop in Freiburg, Silesia (not the Black Forest Freiburg.) He struggled to produce clocks with an unskilled labor force until a design award in 1852 gave him the prestige to attract the quality of workers needed for success in this new industry. The firm prospered, and won many quality and performance awards worldwide from the 1860's to the 1890' s Until about 1880, virtually all Gustav Becker clocks were weight powered regulator wall clocks. Then, spring powered clocks were introduced and many new styles followed. Several million clocks were produced and sold by the end of the trademark's use in the mid 1930's. Gustav Becker died in 1885, but the strength of his enterprise carried his name forward. The trademark and production survived an 1889 consolidation of Freiburg clockmaking companies into the "United Freiburg Clock Manufacturing Company Inc., formerly Gustav Becker". In 1926, this firm combined with the Junghans clockmaking company, and the Gustav Becker trademark continued until about 1935.
