 [ The photos show a tall, spring powered, Hall Clock (maybe 9 feet
 [ high), with a beautifully carved case (possibly walnut), and with a
 [ triple disc playing mechanism in the base.  The clock face and the
 [ case look like the Symphonion No. 38A "Eroica" pictured on page 227
 [ of Bowers' "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments".  The
 [ Usman brothers operate a firm that distributes building materials.
