Vintage Schatz Model 49 "Midget" 400-Day Anniversary Clock - For Restoration
Up for auction is a beautiful vintage Schatz Model 49 (often referred to as the "Miniature" or "Midget" version) 400-day torsional anniversary clock, manufactured in Germany by the renowned Jahresuhrenfabrik.
This model features a cream-colored floral decorated dial with clean Roman numerals and elegant black hands.
The architectural frame is supported by two beautiful cream/ivory painted pillars with polished brass accents, sitting on a matching tiered base.
It comes complete with its original 4-ball pendulum and its fragile glass dome, which is intact without cracks or major scratches.
### Condition Report (For Restoration)
* **Aesthetic Condition:** Excellent vintage condition. The dial is perfectly preserved with no cracks or chipping. The brass components retain a bright luster with minimal, age-appropriate patina.
* **Mechanical Status:** The clock is currently fully wound (mainspring is under tension) but is not running because the internal suspension wire is broken/missing. A small fragment of the old wire is still attached to the rear block.
* **Required Parts:** To return to working order, it requires a standard replacement suspension wire (Horolovar standard gauge 0.058 mm / 0.0023"). The internal brass gear train appears visually intact, clean, and healthy, with no broken teeth.
* **Leveling:** Please note this miniature model features a solid fixed-pin tripod base without adjustable leveling screws; it must be placed on a perfectly horizontal surface to operate correctly once the wire is replaced.
