I am not an expert but I have been in the antique business for about 17 years and I happen to collect clocks. I have one similar to yours. I've been watching this site for awhile, didn't think my first post would be about a clock. Your clock is a single weight Vienna Regulator. A little earlier than normally seen. Your clock is from what the clock collectors call "The Early Period" of Vienna Regulators and is towards the end of the Biedermier Period(style) which is generally the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. I would guess 1835-1840. Vienna Regulators usually run in the $500-1500 range but can easily fetch in the thousands depending on maker. The movement is probably marked if you were to take it out, it's not that hard and usually a couple screws from the back. That pendulum is huge! I hope the others are just as nice. You have inherited a fantastic clock. Do I see an AMP connector holding the cat gut(pendulum wire) on?
