THIS IS A GREAT OLD TOWN AREA WASHINGTON DC ESTATE OFFERING FOR A VINTAGE CLOCK COLLECTION OR A ZODIAC / ASTROLOGY LOVER. IT’S A 1930s KIENZLE BRONZE ART DECO ZODIAC CLOCK. IT HAS A TRANSPARENT BLUE TINTED GLASS DIAL WITH APPLIED BRONZE ZODIAC FIGURES ALL AROUND THE RIM. THE ROMAN NUMERALS ALSO APPLIED OT THE RIM BAND. THE MOVEMENT IS GILDED & MARKED AS GERMAN. THE DIAL MEASURES APPROX. 9 3/4 IN DIAMETER. THE CLOCK STANDS APPROX. 11 3/8 TALL OVERALL. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO OF THE CLOCK NEXT TO A NORMAL SIZE MDERN SODA CAN FOR SCALE. THE CLOCK IS TRULY GORGEOUS CLEAN ALL OVER. IT WAS FOUND DISPLAYED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE HOME. THE CLOCK WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT, A HOT ATTIC OR OUTSIDE STORAGE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE ESTATE THAT THE CLOCK WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED & OILED WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS. I PLACED THE CLOCK ON A LEVEL TABLE & WOUND IT ALL THE UP ONCE. IT CAME RIGHT TO LIFE AND RAN FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS THEN STOPPED. IT NOW RUNS FOR A WHILE, THEN STOPS UNTIL TOUCHED, RUNS FOR WHILE, THEN STOPS UNTIL TOUCHED, ETC… WHEN THE CLOCK STOPS, IT WILL INSTANTLY RUN AGAIN AS SOON AS THE LITTLE HANDS SETTING KNOB IS TOUCHED. THE MOVEMENT IS CLEAN & BRIGHT. NOTHING IS BROKEN OR OFF OF A JEWEL. THE CLOCK CASE IS NOT ROTTED, BEAT UP, BENT, DENTED, LOOSE, MODIFIED OR REPAIRED. IT’S TRULY SUPER CLEAN ALL OVER!

I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. YOU ARE SEEING THE CLOCK FRESH OUT OF THE ESTATE. IT WAS ON FOUND ON A MANTLE IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE ESTATE HOME. IT’S BEING OFFERED, WITH NO WARRANTIES FOR CLEANING/RESTORATION, AS AN ANTIQUE PRE-OWNED TIMEPIECE FRESH OUT OF AN ESTATE. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.

I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT’S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME.

I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS “OLD” TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT “SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE” TO SOMEONE. MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
