Colonial (Schatz) Ship's Bell Clock

[John Turner]

Hi, I have a Ship's Bell clock that I'm trying to identify the movement of. It has "Colonial" printed on the dial below the 12, and the movement is stamped "Schatz" & has 4 jewels. The clock needs some work, it runs for a few minutes and then stops. I'm trying to find out the model number of the movement. I have attached pictures of the clock and the movement. I did Google it, and only found listings as "Schatz Ship's Bell Clock". Thanks for any help!

Your clock was listed as Model 1596 in Colonial Mfg. Co. Import Clock Catalog. Catalog was undated , but it was after 1974.

And August Schatz went out of business in 1986, so maybe that narrows it down a little.

That does help, thanks guys! Any idea about how to identify the model of the Schatz movement? It needs a new escape wheel (the current one is damaged), and I can't figure out the movement number.
