Just wondering if that make of movement originally has anything to do with a Walter Storz. I think he was somewhere around the Black Forest in Germany in the late 1920's.

A close up of the movement and name markings probably would be advantageous Danny, maybe the "Storz" name on it is a model name not the maker?

I don't have the roof topper. It was languishing in a plastic basket at a flea market. I had to save it. It was too beautiful to let go. IO cleaned, oiled and serviced it and it runs great and keeps decent time.

The clock width is 17.5" eave to eave
The height is 21.5" from the bottom of the grapes to the tip of the roof. The grape branches have been repaired but with a little wax and patience it could be brought back to day 1. Finding the proper roof trim is proving to be a challenge it should be about 22 inches long tip to tip.
