<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marcos Scheuenstuhl, post: 4418542, member: 22552&quot;]My &quot;newest&quot; clock just got home. Consulting more experienced collectors, I was told that a lot of French movements were imported and fitted in English cases. When Dent (clock manufacturer who constructed Big Ben&#039;s clock) made their own clocks, they would use their triangle logo, but when they imported and retailed them, they would just put on the Dent name (as is probably the case with this clock). The Vincenti &amp; Cie movement in this clock has engraved &quot;Medaille d&#039;Argent 1855&quot;, so the clock was probably manufactured in the second half of the 19th Century. Would the above assumptions be reasonable? Would it be possible to specify a more precise date of manufacture? Will appreciate any comment that will help me get to know better the newest member of my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376456[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376457[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376458[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376460[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376461[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376463[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376464[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]376465[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
