If you do undo the winder and the three nuts holding the back on and pull the the setter off, the whole thing should fall or be pushed out through the front.
Photos of this should help with identification.
Generally, round insertion movements were commonly produced for all types of such cases.
I'm not an officinado of American clocks but a lot may have used German or Swiss movements.

I think this will have an American made movement (New Haven).

Those who have access to the New Haven books may be able to identify the model. The design of the case is rather art nouveau and I would estimate it around 1900.

It looks as it is has had the original finish polished off over the years. I should try to remove the corrosion/verdigris round the bezel. You could have the whole case re-plated but I think if you cleaned it properly and then gave a coat of Renaissance wax (or similar) it would be fine and in keeping with its age.

Susie, Tran's New Haven book shows this clock as the "Chopin" based on a 1913 catalog. It indicates a list price of $3.95 and dimensions of 5 1/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches. Bruce

Thank you for the information, I have ordered the Tran but but it hasn’t arrived yet and my brain likes to know now.

Thank you so much, I do like the copper color and have that wax.
