Antique clock case - any ideas of manufacturer
« on: October 30, 2011, 06:03:26 pm »
I haven't had any cool finds in a while, but I did get one recently which is a tad annoying. I bought what appears to be an antique ceramic/porcelain clock case. I would like to put in a time appropriate clock mechanism, but I do not even know the manufacturer or approximate date of this piece. The only clue I have is the first letter of a signature on the bottom of the case. By the wear on the underside, it appears to be quite old, but without more info, I am unsure how to proceed. Any clock experts out there? I have looked at over 10 000 images on the net, and have yet to come up with this exact clock case.

Hey Hudson !!  Go look at Flubble`s post !!  There clock set and yours are about the same time period, 40`s  I think from style but could be much later !!  They have a good pic of the face of theirs !!  There were lots of these made in many different styles but I think yours and theirs are very close !!

Just looking at the profile of the case, the first thing that comes to mind are the Royal Bonn cases that Ansonia used.
