Vintage Herschede Model 164 Mechanical Table Clock – German Time-Only Movement

This charming Herschede Model No. 164 table clock is a wonderful little mechanical timepiece from The Herschede Hall Clock Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. Compact, elegant, and beautifully understated, it has the classic look of a fine mantel or bracket-style clock in a smaller, easy-to-place size.

Unlike many traditional mantel clocks, this is a time-only mechanical clock. There are no chimes and no hourly strike — just the quiet enjoyment of a real wind-up clock keeping time. That makes it a perfect choice for an office, bedroom, study, shelf, nightstand, or anywhere you want vintage mechanical character without chime noise.

The movement is marked “Herschede Cincinnati – Made in Germany” and has been cleaned, oiled, tested, and is working properly. The clock winds smoothly and runs as it should.

The case has a warm honey-toned wood finish with a graceful arched top, shaped bracket-style feet, brass-tone bezel, glass front, Roman numeral dial, and ornate black hands. It is small, tasteful, and full of old-world charm.

This is a great piece for a clock collector, Herschede enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates a simple, well-made mechanical clock.
