<p>[QUOTE=&quot;busryde, post: 1264400, member: 10891&quot;]So I went to visit family for Thanksgiving and someone brought out this dog clock. My grandfather was a stevedore for a major port in TX, and he was occasionally invited on board for dinner and was gifted with items over the years.&nbsp; This is a german clock dog with rotating eyes.&nbsp; The label &quot;Carl Tiedemann Stevedore&quot; is the shipping company based in Hamburg, not the maker of the clock.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found many similar clocks online.&nbsp; The bottom sticker identifies it as an Oswald Clock Co, possibly as early as the 1920s, but more likely late &#039;30s or &#039;40s which is when my grandfather began working there.&nbsp; There is another carved signature &quot;H. Tolle&quot; which I would guess identify the carver, but I haven&#039;t found much info on that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have any questions about it except about the H Tolle sig, I really just wanted to share this unique piece.&nbsp; Happy Thanksgiving!!![ATTACH=full]216791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216794[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
