Featured How old is this timeclock?

is it the sloth on the left on the copper inside

 

That would be a very awkward placement. Does your clock have any marks at all besides the two logos?

It looks like a later model of this clock. Is yours missing a handle?

No it is complete, but no sloth to put a card in and i discovered the inside under the copper plate. More questions than answers??

 

Thank you Debora, rare item. i paid only 27 euro.

 

No other marks found.

 

Why don't you contact these guys and see if they'll provide more info. Never hurts to ask.

The slot is the center, above the clock, where the little metal bit pokes out. You slide the card in, pull the handle, and the date is stamped. You can see the date stamp rolls and the (probably dried out) ink bands in the open photo, to the left of the little metal bit.

 

Done that, thank you very much for your amazing detective work. i am happy to finally have found something good.

 

oke thank you, yes it works your are very wise and i have learned alot. I love this forum and give it 5 stars. TOP

 

Just to round thing up here a nice fact about Burk clocks or punch clocks and then the circle is complete. Thank you everyone who has helped me out with this topic. Here is the fact:

The Württembergische Uhrenfabrik Bürk Söhne was founded by Johannes Bürk (1819-1872) in Schwenningen am Neckar (today Villingen-Schwenningen) in 1855. The original factory is now a museum. Initially the company made watches and night watchman time recorders and other instruments. From the 1920s it became known for industrial master clocks and time systems. In 1900 Bürk and Bundy from the US founded International Time Recording, that later became IBM. In 1985 Bürk was taken over by Kienzle, but retained the name Bürk Zeitsysteme. The history of the company is then that of Kienzle.

Bürk master clocks are recognised of being of high quality, reliable and accurate.
