1970s Woodcrofters Cherry Wall Clock with 8 Day Rensie Mechanical Movement

$112.00
A warm 1970s Woodcrofters wall clock with a solid cherry frame and an 8-day mechanical movement by Rensie. The square, stepped moulding and round brass-tone dial give it that classic “family room” feel, perfect over a console table, bar area, or in a cozy den.

This clock is spring-driven, not battery-operated. You wind it once a week through the front dial. The Rensie movement is running strongly and has kept reliable time during multi-day testing, with that satisfying vintage tick you only get from a mechanical wall clock.

📚 Historical Context

The back is stamped “Made in Genuine Woodcroftery - Fruitwood Cherry - America,” identifying the case as a Woodcrofters product, an American company known for quality hardwood clock and barometer cases in the mid-20th century.

The dial reads “Movement by Rensie.” Rensie was a German movement brand whose name is derived from Eisner spelled backwards, referencing clockmaker Paul Eisner. Rensie exported durable 8-day movements throughout the 1950s–1970s, often paired with American-made cases like this one.

Together, the Woodcrofters cherry case and German Rensie movement make this a classic 1970s American/German hybrid: solid furniture-grade wood on the outside, reliable West German mechanics on the inside.

✨ Condition Notes

- Movement: 8-day Rensie mechanical movement tested; ticks strongly and keeps good time over a multi-day run.
- Dial: Original brass-tone metal dial shows visible age toning, scratching, and areas of discoloration/spotting, most notably near the center and lower edge. Printing is still legible.
Hands & glass: Original ornate hands with some tarnish; hinged bezel and glass open smoothly and the glass is clear with light surface marks from age.
- Case: Solid cherry Woodcroftery frame with scattered nicks, scuffs, and edge wear consistent with a 50+ year old wall clock—especially along the left side and corners. No cracks or structural issues.
- Back: Marked “Made in Germany” on the movement housing and “Made in Genuine Woodcroftery - Fruitwood Cherry - America.” Handwritten “2747 3-73” date label.
