Featured How old is this timeclock?

Hello everyone, well i found a curiosity in a thriftstore. It's a timeclock where you would clock out or in at a factory. Does anyone know how old it is??

 

Would/could you post a photograph of the dial that is legible?

What do you mean? The dial of the clock or a dial inside?

 

The dial of the clock. The language used on the dial should help date it.

It says Andriessen Helmond. Helmond is about 10k from where I live. I am not familiar with the maker Andriessen though.
Hunt also lives in the Netherlands.

 

It says Andriessen Helmond, it is a Dutch clock. The company still exsists

So it is not an antique and i have posted wrong at the antique forum . sorry my bad

 

You're not the only one. It can be difficult to chose the right forum.

I am no expert, but it looks 1960s to me.

 

yep i think so too, cool thing though. love a bit of history.

 

The time clock was manufactured by Bürk, a German company. Andriessen Graveertechniek is a screenprinter, among other things. It's more likely they printed the dial. According to the Andriessen web site, they have "over 50 years of experience" so that provides you with an earliest estimated date.

Here's information on Bürk.

That simulated hammered blue finish was very popular in the 1960s. Hammerite was a brand of finish used a lot.

 

Here's information on Bürk. You'll have to run it through Google Translate if you don't read German.

thank TOP

 

Here's a 1973 photograph of a Bürk time clock in use. The logo and dial appear to be very similar to those on your (smaller) clock.

The eBay seller of this Bürk wall clock dates it to the 1960s. Notice the evolution of the logo which supports your clock being earlier.

Yes those are verry wanted and sell for big bucks.

 

The only thing i don't understand is where they insert the card, because there is no apature in the lid of the box cover??

 

I can't find any sales records on the internet for Bürk clocks.

What's under the lid of your clock?
