manufacturer mark

[mwbrazil]

Hi,
How do I find what manufacturer goes with a certain mark?

If you will post either a drawing or a picture of the mark we will try to identify it for you. Also tell us what the mark is on.....a clock, a watch....?

Best,

Richard T.

Richard,

I took some pictures but they are too bright. The mark is some type of bird with the head to one side and wings spread out. The face has MAUTHE. I have never seen this.

It is a wall clock.

Thanks Mike

Hi Mike,

The trademark is an eagle with spread wings sitting on a circle with FMS. Your clock is German and the maker is Mauthe.

Best,

Richard T.

Entering "Mauthe" in the search box will bring up many threads including this: https://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?t=41065&highlight=mauthe

Looks like the logo of Werner C. Uhrenfabrik, founded by Carl Werner. (I call it Werner C. Uhrenfabrik because that's the way I have seen it. I wonder why it is not C. Werner Uhrenfabrik.)

This trademark comes up surprisingly often.

Conveniently at e-hand therefore is this copy of an announcement from the firm, which appeared in an 1898 German clockmakers' journal, noting the change from the TM above to the two below. A most convenient dating line.

Steven -- perhaps that "Werner, Carl" (and it is the C. Werner...) comes from listings in references which have e.g. "Thomas, Seth" formats.

I wondered if something like that might be the case, but couldn't be sure. Strange things do happen horologically. Thanks, Zep.
