Germany's Older Clock Factories
-
Their Trade Marks and Dates of Manufacture
-
by E. D. Bush ond Chorles Terwilliger
with greot ossistonce from E. J. Tyler
One of the most frequently asked
questions directed to "The Answer
Box" during the past several years is
how to identify the manufacturer of
a clock from a trade mark found on
the movement back plate, on a paper
Iabel, or baked on an enamel dial.
Most of these questions were
con-
cerned .i.r'ith Gerrnan made clocks.
The reason, undoubtedly, is that
hundreds of thousands of late 19th
Century and early 20th Century socalled Vienna Regulattlrs (1-, 2-, and
3-weight), free su:inger wooden wall
clocks, and mantel cloeks, have been
imported into the United States by
wholesale antique importers, It is not
at all uncommon for an entire container of these clocks to be sold to
big dealers, particularly in the South
sight unseen! Many have ended
-up in the collections of our members.
Practically aII of these clocks lr-ere
made in or near: the Black Forest by
many large and small clock factories
from Schramberg in the north to
-Neustadt in the
South
including
- as Furtwell known clock towns such
wangern, Triberg, Lenzkirch, Sch.wen-
ningen, etc. Each factory had its in-
dividuai tr"ade marks. Today, only the
old-timers kno,lv where some of these
factories once stood.
Several members have helped to
compile the list as it now stands, but
the bulk of the information came from
E. J. Tyler in England who has done
extensive research on European clocks
including those made in the Black
Forest. He has already contributed
one illustrated article to. thaBuLLETIN,
"The Influence of American Clock
Factories or Production in the Black
Forest" (October 1970, No. 148).
The tables and figures that follow
cover over 200 Gerrnan trade marks
all rrye have been able to assemble over
the past couple of years. The list is
obviously not complete. Many trade
marks are still not ideatified. If you
can help to complete the list or can
fill in any of the holes, please send
your information to E. D. Bush, 2416
Savannah Avenue, El Paso, Texas
79930. Additions (and any correc-
tions) will appear in the
at a latcr date.
