A lot of wood is used in this one.

In 2014 in another thread on a holzraderuhr I congratulated the new owner of a beautiful holzraderuhr. Now today this one has made its way to my house and I am now also a proud owner of such a clock. Does anyone know where this type of clock was made?? It seems there where different place/country's where they where produced. All information is welcome. And no, I do not have the book by Schaaf about holzraderuhen, but like to buy that book.

From Frank Snyder on another site;

The date is correct..it's Bohemian. The crown wheel using steel pins is the giveaway. I've seen quite a few clocks like this over the years. The Black Forest Clocks of this early type in woodworks have crown wheels are totally made of wood ..similar to the profile of Morbier crown wheels but all wood. The Black Forest clocks can also be identified by the thinness of the wheels and contours of the tooth tips..
This is an original piece posted..and it is of that age mentioned if not earlier

Jim, thanks you very much. I am not sure if I do understand you correctly: "From Frank Snyder on another site" . I am not familiar with this kind of clock but does mr. Frank Snyder discusses this clock anywhere else on a site? Where can I find this information from mr. Snyder?

Frank Snyder is a friend on FaceBook. He does a lot of Black Forest clock restorations IIRC. He just shared this one with me on Messenger a few minutes ago. I will request contact information for him and PM you with it if he wants to share more. edit; Contact information for Frank sent to you

P., Here's one I posted a few years ago..

Early Holzräderuhr

With permission.. a description. "The wooden-wheel clock (BTW in German the term Holzräderuhr differentiates these earlier clocks from those which later have brass wheels, sometimes with partially wood arbors, within wood frames) is of the "Deggendorf" type which is illustrated in Schaaf's...

Ralph, thanks. Thats an interesting clock as well! Looks like there are not many "holzraderuhren" still around. Not much information to find on the net.
