<p>[QUOTE="jrcmillett, post: 2803962, member: 16552"]Hi Nitrams, What I am thinking is that the original receipt and the script on the back suggests it is English, not french. There is one other interesting thing that supports the 1870 model date. In 1890 countries began the practice of requiring the country of origin to be imprinted on such items. There is no such notation on this clock that I can find. What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
