Unfortunately, no but in the earlier picture with his father standing beside it he is 6'1". It has to be almost 9'
You and Jay need to run up to Oklahoma City and snag that one for your collection. :)
I stopped by on my way back from Kansas and took more photos of this clock. The clock is at a deceased parents house and no one has a place to for it. They want to sell it but have no idea of current value. Looking for buyers. I don't have a place for such a big clock either.
I looked for a...
I am going to Kansas and will pass through OKC. If one of the family is available I will stop and get more details. None of the family has a place for such a large clock. They are wanting to sell it where it is in their parents home which will also be sold later as part of their estate.

A customer has asked me to find any information on this tubular he inherited from his parents
The only markings he has found are on the dial "Barfoot Brother of Hove, Sussex. I believe this was a jewelry store. They probably sold the clock..
The clock is currently in Oklahoma City so I...
I picked this up today for sub $100. I would welcome any input as to origins and dating suggestions anyone might have. It is missing the weight but I have a nice one to go with it

I bought this last week. The movement says Made in France, but no maker name or mark. Dial says Philadelphia under the 6. It has a mercury pendulum.
I need to clean the movement and do some freshening up on the finish but for sub $200 I was happy with the purchase
If anyone has any...
You have what I believe is a "Mezzo". Red or Mahogany Adamantine finish.
Should have a #89 movement and was made around 1917.
You have a little damage to the finish on the top left I see. If you're good with mixing paints you can make that all but disappear by mixing and matching Testor model...
I spoke to a German historian a few years back who gave me some interesting insight into some of these clocks with missing parts. Although many were lost in transport form Germany or by careless owners he told me something else. During WWII as times got tough for the average German people in...
Congratulations. I like Mauthe clocks. I have several. I'm going to suggest you PM -Tatyana-. She has helped date a couple of Mauthe clocks for me. I would be guessing. You've done some nice work. It's always great to see an abused or neglected clock brought back to life.

There were a number of reproduction clocks such as yours made during the 70's and 80's using the 130 series movement. Some were made with marble and bronze statue clocks made in Italy but using the same movement you have. As long as it runs, keeps time, and you like it, forge on. If you start...
Based on the information on the Forum link I followed that is where the numbers on the plates fall in my interpretation. Granted it does not look that old and the style is not what I might expect from the period that is the conclusion I drew. If you can offer alternate insight I would be...
OK. This one falls in a different category. It was so ugly and unfamiliar to me at Less than $75.00 I had to see what it was. Obviously French and at some point it had a statue or figure on top. Clock is in decent shape and actually runs.
This is not the first clock I have bought that...
I went to an estate sale out in the boondocks and saw this clock. Wearing a mask clouds my glasses and having one hand full I could not put them on to read the makers mark. However, this clock met my first 3 rules of purchase. 1) I liked the looks. 2) Case was in acceptable condition. 3)...
