M A Ball

I inherited a clock over 30 years ago that must have been in the family almost from new. It is identical in appearance, size, as a 1907 Urania 400 day anniversary clock but apart from a serial number stamped on the back 32638, (in the same place and font as the Urania) there are no other markings except for an S and an F on the circular weight.  The dial has no markings but I understand that this is not abnormal as often retailers added there own mark. 

Is there any knowledge of a likely resource that might help provide any info. Thank you.

Take a clear photo of the back of the clock, just the works, not the legs.

Someone with the Horolovar repair guide might be able to identify it.

If it has a disc pendulum there might be a number stamped or written in pencil, this should match the main number, if the pendulum is original.  3 or 4 ball pendulum will not be numbered.

Hi  with a good clear picture of the back plate the saddle or suspension bracket and also the pendulum rotor there is a good chance we can ID the clock.  Had a look at the book no mention of Urania most likley the finishers or retailers brand name,  most were produced by Schatz, Kundo Haller Kern Hermle (FHS) and many others.
