Have to clocks that looks the same

[David1970]

I bought these two Clocks and I was just wondering if there was the same maker. E PLURIBUS UNUM AMERICAN ALARM MANTEL CLOCK. Or is it Atkins Clock Company both of them have labels inside but they are slightly different. Thanks would love any help.

Atkins Clock Company of Bristol and later Forestville, Connecticut

 

"E Pluribus Unum" was the motto proposed for the first Great Seal of the United States by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson in 1776. A latin phrase meaning "One from many," the phrase offered a strong statement of the American determination to form a single nation from a collection of states.

19th century

You can sometimes date American clocks by there labels. Have a look here as I cannot see the whole of the label you are showing.

Hi oldhippy thank you for the information. a lot of the label was destroyed very brittle not by me lol. Even though this was a phrase that was going to be used I noticed some people are saying their clocks are E Pluribus Unum. Thank you for the information.

There are French and German clocks that use  E Pluribus Unum as I said it is just a motto.

Yes I know it's just a phrase as I said I just saw some people using it as the name of the clock bizarre. Unfortunately the labels are to perished to get any more information. I do appreciate you taking your time to answer me thank you.
