Hi,

I've done a little research myself into dating GB clocks and one of the key indicators of age is whether the clock was made in Freiburg or at the later Braunau factory opened ca. 1888.
Details on Braunau are murky but it can make a big difference.

Example: Braunau in Boehm Serial number 50,000 vs Serial number 50,000 Freiburg are comletely different dates.

I've writeen up some of what I've learned and put it here on the link below. (has photos of ca few types of movement stamps)

I'd be glad for anyone else to shed more light and/or corrections to this. PS I have a movement with s/n 25k coming soon. I'm sure there's earlier, but it's the earliest I've seen
