If you can find a serial number on your clock, you may be able to find the year in which it was made. Listed below are manufacturers that used serial numbers. If a clock has a serial number it is usually stamped on the back plate of the movement. However, there are a handfull of well known clock manufacturers that used serial numbers to designate the sequence of their clock production. Amazing work and a restored clock Thank you David.Not all clocks have serial numbers marked on them. The pins on one side handle the bank of four hammers and the pins on the other side handle the bim/bam pair. The piece he made can be seen in the attached photo (with the white tie wrap) with ten pins going through the wheel. David reverse engineered the missing item, manufactured it, installed it and timed the movement for me. All of that was way above my pay grade so I sent the movement to David LaBounty. There were no pictures or drawings of what the missing piece might look like, but after some help from Feather and others we began to get an idea of what needed to be made. This has a 'waterfall strike' which I had never heard of and knew nothing about. The owner asked me if I could see about getting it restored. At the time the assembly that controlled the two sets of hammers was removed and thrown away and that 1/2 of the movement was wired so that it could not be wound and would not activate. This clock arrived with a missing part that had been severely damaged years before when the ratchet failed and ripped up the chime/strike side. I meant to update this some time ago but realised I never finished the posting. The full set of photos takes three posts. The 128 caliber movement has 4 1/8 x 3 7/8 plates. The owner has not heard any sound from the clock for more than 10 years and cannot remember what it actually sounds like, but he says he vaguely remembers that the 1/4s involve a multi note pattern, and the hour is the usual count out on a chord. There does not appear to be anything that would keep the pins on that side from lifting the hour hammers. The two hammer pair are each activated separately like a bim-bam I have not been able to figure out if the hour hammer set also strikes the chord on the 1/4s. The four hammers move as a group striking a four note chord. With S3 missing I am not able to actually make everything go through a full cycle. S3 on this movement would most likely have 10 pins on one side for the hour strike hammers, and an unknown number of pins on the other side for the 1/4 hour action on the two hammers. In one photo you can see my thumb lifting the lever to move the two hammers toward the back plate about a 1/4 inch. To the left of the snail are several levers that affect how the rack functions at the 1/4 1/2 and 3/4 and then also move the two hammer set out of the way for the hour strike by the four hammer set. The one behind the hour wheel controls the 1/4 hour striking by the two hammer set. You will see the snail in front of the hour wheel for the rack as usual, and a second cam behind it.
