« on: November 26, 2012, 05:51:47 pm »
Hello there,

this is the clock we would like some information about.





we got told this piece of antique could be worth quite a lot, by someone who is passed away right now.

on the inside there is this engraved: 15°/m

If anyone has any idea please let us know!

Thanks in advance

I am completely stymied by this. Omega watch used Patria as an early brand in the early 20th century but I am not sure if there is any correlation. Patria means father or a derivative thereof as in patriarch. Hopefully someone with more expertise can help.

Less than $2.00 to win and $56.00 to ship? I feel an E-Bay rant coming on.... :o
