Can anyone provide a bit of info?

[MikeD]

My wife has been given her grandmothers clock.  I can’t find anything about the maker.  She lived new]at Bradford so the Bradford reference does stack up.

Any info gratefully received.

The name on the dial is the Bradford jeweller that retailed the clock they would not have made it, a picture of the movement would tell you more when determining the maker, not having seen the movement I would suspect it to be a 8 day platform escapement movement of either English, origin by makers such as Elliott, Smiths, or Rotherams, or Swiss Buren or a French make.

date wise I would put it roughly around the 1920's.

But without a picture of the movement it would be impossible to determine manufacture.

Agree with Wis we need a pics of the movement. At a pure guess I would say an Enfield with no strike.

I need to see a photo of the movement.
