Tower movement ID

[dumpsterdiver]

Hi,

Attached is a tower clock movement I was given by a friend a few years ago. He found it in the trash around Philadelphia PA. I have just started in the clock repair program at the School of Horology. Since I have that great library at my disposal I want to research the movement and get it back running. The problem is that there is no manufacturer marks anywhere on the movement. I have not been able to locata anything similar in the library. Can anyone please ID this for me?

Thanks,
Randy

Good luck, dumpsterdiver, with your studies AND with your identification/restoration project.

It is amazing what some people will throw out. Probably thought it was some type of jack.

Way too cool, gravity escapement, that's a few hundred bucks thrown out.
Great project and good luck at the school. I don't know if you yet appreciate what you have but it's a keeper for sure.
