    Westclox Eastman Pocket Something...

    So I don't really know what to post this under as I am not sure what it is. Found the movement as Westclox Plate 80 which says introduced in 1932 and this one is stamped 1950. Perhaps this was made for Eastman Kokak for timing film development? The wording on the face would probably make more...

    N.H.C.Co. Back Wind...is this New Haven?

    ok I messed up it is a back set not a back wind. Sorry! Thank you for giving me the courage to open the back. I believe New Haven Plate 52 matches this!

    N.H.C.Co. Back Wind...is this New Haven?

    so it is ok to unscrew the back on this? not going to act like a pop up clown and spew its' innards all over the room?

    N.H.C.Co. Back Wind...is this New Haven?

    Does anyone know if New Haven ever used this acronym? I'm not finding New Haven backs that look like this one. Any thoughts appreciated. Thought I had seen one here somewhere but my mind does not seem to work like it needs to to navigate the older posts here as I am usually unsuccessful with...

    Anton Hawelk Rescue...Need DNA Info on this Breed

    Yes, I believe he had 3 Rieflers and was looking for a 4th (don't know if he ever got a 4th). How fun that you were at the same auction! R.S Stevens sounds familiar...I think there was some sort of correspondence between them or mentioning him in the papers I just boxed up. A few years ago...

    Anton Hawelk Rescue...Need DNA Info on this Breed

    That is indeed an interesting thought regarding electrifying. It would explain the black coils, etc. My uncle certainly could have attempted this or bought it that way. Thank you for your input and the ended auction link which I will look at.

    Post Your Junghans Mystery Swingers here

    I ran across an older post on these Mystery clocks here. The catalog pdf from 1911 shows the same base as mine so perhaps at that point they simply did them that way.

    Anton Hawelk Rescue...Need DNA Info on this Breed

    Yes, this was part of his collection. In fact, today I will be boxing up all his historical documents/info on Syncronome electric clocks and Rieflers. My understanding is that it took many years for him to amass much of this information and I would not like to see that go to waste so I will...

    Hi Pat! No I didn't get a pendulum. There was one one the table but I'll have to ask if that belonged to this clock.

    Post Your Junghans Mystery Swingers here

    Wondering if anyone know why some of the Junghan Mystery clocks have wood bases and some have the more molded, sculptural metal bases that match the figure material as seen on this cricket (?) playing version?

    Anton Hawelk Rescue...Need DNA Info on this Breed

    Wasn't sure where to post this clock so I added it onto an older discussion and started a new one. Let me know if that is a bridge too far. Anyway, my aunt was going to dispose of this...maybe because it is without a house (wooden shell or whatever it is called?). I told her I would give it a...

    Ansonia pocket watch pin question on 1888 patented version and is this The Ansonia?

    Thank you! How interesting that the rivet retains a spring! I will not be touching that.

    Ansonia pocket watch pin question on 1888 patented version and is this The Ansonia?

    Well I ventured in pretty much as far as you went but was able to tilt the mechanism enough to see that the pin looks like a dummy pin i.e. it doesn't go anywhere or attach to anything and resembles more of a short plug. What that is all about, I have no idea. The mechanism is pretty much...

    Ansonia pocket watch pin question on 1888 patented version and is this The Ansonia?

    Wow yours is beautiful! Love the engraving. Thank you for sharing these pics and the info as it gives me some insight into mine. Yours has a pin as well which I have begun to think similarly as you, that it holds everything into alignment in some fashion. I have taken the crystal off the dial...
