Winterhalder & Hofmeier Golf Themed Bracket Clock w/Triple Wind & Westminster Chime - Rare

This clock is a bracket clock with a triple wind & Westminster chime. It was made by M. Winterhalder & Hofmeier, in Neustadt Baden Germany W&H Sch. From that makers mark it dates anywhere from 1869-1908. This is the first we have seen to display a golf theme. The golfer and caddie are detailed in inlaid wood. Winterhalder & Hofmeier was considered one of the best Victorian clockmakers of their time, founded in 1810 and operational until 1933, part of the renowned Black Forest clockmaker industry. This piece of golf history belongs in a museum, but can easily be on your mantle. The clock has the key and pendulum.

Clock measures 11.75" wide x 15.25" tall and 6.75" deep .
