Germany's Older Clock Factories - Twigs Digs

1 Germany's Older Clock Factories - Their Trade Marks and Dates of Manufacture -by E. D. Bush ond Chorles Terwilligerwith greot ossistonce from E. J. TylerOne of the most frequently askedquestions directed to "The AnswerBox" during the past several years ishow to identify the manufacturer ofa Clock from a trade mark found onthe movement back plate, on a paperIabel, or baked on an enamel of these questions were con-cerned . 'ith Gerrnan made reason, undoubtedly, is thathundreds of thousands of late 19thCentury and early 20th Century so-called Vienna Regulattlrs (1-, 2-, and3-weight), free su:inger wooden wallclocks, and mantel cloeks, have beenimported into the United States bywholesale antique importers, It is notat all uncommon for an entire con-tainer of these clocks to be sold tobig dealers, particularly in the South-- sight unseen!

2 Many have endedup in the collections of our aII of these clocks lr-eremade in or near: the Black Forest bymany large and small Clock Factories - from Schramberg in the north toNeustadt in the South - includingwell known Clock towns such as Furt-wangern, Triberg, Lenzkirch, , etc. Each factory had its in-dividuai tr"ade marks. Today, only theold-timers kno,lv where some of thesefactories once members have helped tocompile the list as it now stands, butthe bulk of the information came fromE. J. Tyler in England who has doneextensive research on European clocksincluding those made in the BlackForest.

3 He has already contributedone illustrated article to. thaBuLLETIN,"The Influence of American ClockFactories or Production in the BlackForest" (October 1970, No. 148).The tables and figures that followcover over 200 Gerrnan trade marks -all rrye have been able to assemble overthe past couple of years. The list isobviously not complete. Many trademarks are still not ideatified. If youcan help to complete the list or canfill in any of the holes, please sendyour information to E. D. Bush, 2416 Savannah Avenue, El Paso, Texas79930. Additions (and any correc-tions) will appear in the BULLETTNat a latcr to tJris Article:Pages 157 through LB}.
