cool clock but can't read the maker
I got this really cool clock but can't read the maker on the back. I believe the base is green bakelite. The glass is curved. The back is quite ornate and I can make out an f and N. Anyone know about this clock?

OP2 years agoIt is quite heavy for the size. Unfortunately it is overwound, but It just has that 'look'. I plan on putting it in my booth at the antique mall and hope someone can fix it. I just have no idea how to price. It's hard to price something you just acquired, but love!

·2 years agoMy rule of thumb when i had a consignment booth was i would price items somewhat aggressively unless i liked it. If i did like it i would double the price of what i think its worth. 😠Sometimes it would sell, sometimes i would discount it on a sale or sometimes it would eventually come home with me. Win Win Win 😂
-Good luck with it.

OP2 years ago@chevymontecarlo88 What clues did you use to say German made? Clocks are not my area of expertise but I just thought it was lovely. Thanks for confirming the time period.

·2 years agoIt looks similar to a clock that my grandmother had who immigrated from Austria. I have no idea where she got it from but looks very similar to hers. She had many items from that region but i can't say for sure if it is German or not. Personally i love the small little details you find on items similar from that era. I can't tell how the one you have is made, but my grandmothers was built like a tank. I think my brother has it and still works till this day.
