Does anyone recognize the J in the 8 pointed star?

The "J in an eight pointed star" is the trademark of Junghans and was registered in 1920, according to mikrolisk.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, your logo appears to be a nine pointed star.

Regards.

OOPS, you are correct, sir. In that case, is a J in a nine pointed star also a Junghans?

is a J in a nine pointed star also a Junghans

I have never seen a nine pointed star.

When I expand the picture, the stamping looks irregular - some sides of the star are thicker than other sides. I would expect uniformity.

Please post pictures of the movement.

I suppose a remote possibility is the clock is a Junghans clock but manufactured outside Germany.

Just recently, a Junghans wall clock that was manufactured in Italy was presented on this forum. This was the first non-swinger, Italian made Junghans that I ever saw. That movement showed a date stamp (which Junghans is known for) that did not fit the dating protocol for Junghans in the particular year of manufacture. But, I had no reason to doubt its authenticity and I assumed that the Italian manufacturing plant used different identification protocols than the German manufactured products.

However, as I stated above, a picture of the movement could be very helpful.

Regards.

Junghans also used a 12 pointed star. All those starburst models.

The link you provided does not show or reference a 9 pointed star, such as the OP's logo.

Can you show a 12 pointed star from Junghans? I have never seen a Junghans star with more than 8 points.

Thanks and regards.

Can you show us a picture of the movement, I'm suspecting it's Japanese.

I am reasonably sure that Junghans never had a nine point star and the 12 point was a joking reference to the starburst type wall clocks.
