<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 2819830, member: 308&quot;]Clock cases are difficult to ID.&nbsp; The cases were often ordered by the clockworks manufacturers themselves and were sold through the clockmakers.&nbsp; Accordingly, they tended to carry the clockmakers marks rather then the pottery/china company&#039;s.&nbsp; I would think the clock was also sold unpainted and was either painted by a workshop or, perhaps, the owner.&nbsp; As the case is unsigned, and the clockworks face is also unsigned, it&#039;s possible this was produced as a decorator item sold through furniture stores and the like. Since we can&#039;t identify the case or access the works dating becomes problematic.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It clearly has a bit of age to it. I would date it to either just before or after WWII.&nbsp; It looks Federal style to me which was quite popular around the time of the war and into the 1970&#039;s.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking of Sabin China&#039;s courting couple dishes and the toll lamps produced around that time.&nbsp; This is all speculation on my part and I&#039;m only looking at it from a pottery perspective.&nbsp; A clock guy, especially, may have a different opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, the damage means the clock does not have much beyond sentimental value.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry I can&#039;t provide more assistance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
