Clock competition

[oldhippy]

You ask for another, so here we have it.

All I ask for is the date. The clock and the case are correct. I will explain how I know it to be later when you have finished having a go. So it's fun and enjoy.

Not a lot to go on without seeing the movement but the turnings look machined so I'd say 60s.

Edit

That's 1960s

1850's

[Michael1962]

OK. I'll be dead honest, I have no idea of the year. So I'm going with 1970.

Something really odd about the face as well. Looks like paper.

1810-1820

but then you wouldn‘t have asked 

The pendulum does not look antique.

So my guess is 1950

Are you sitting down Richard because you have got it right. Congratulations.

Now for the info. The ways of telling it is the late period for Longcase clocks and in this case White dial  longcase clocks, painted dials are known as white dial. You can see the dial is full full from the four corners early one you would have a break between corners, also the painting is not good gone are the finer detail of the pictures. The case late cases had very short doors and wide the cases were chunky without fine detail heavy looking again very wide. I've included a close up of the dial and can see what I mean about detail.

I am now a clock expert, move over OH. Hehe.  I don't know a lot about art but I  based my guess on the artwork.  

Next.

[oldhippy]

I will now just observe on all questions about clocks and let you take the lead. I think I will enjoy this, I haven't had a holiday in years.

By spoof, you mean joke? It was a "made you look" gif. Totally in bounds.

Please keep to the topic in future. You said it was a joke, I'm sorry I didn't get it, it must be my age.

[RichardHarris123]

I read your profile and previous posts, you are a valued member but I  must agree with OH, your comment was nothing to do with the topic.

With all due respect, no. It was completely on topic and in bounds. Sorry you two didn't get it. A measure of humor is a good thing, and contributes to a welcoming and positive atmosphere, and allows members to bond and get to know one another. If you want to censor completely safe and appropriate humor, be ready to ban the majority of the forum's members. Welcome to the internet. I hear it's a series of tubes.

This, by the way, is appropriate and measured pushback where due and reasonable. Thank you for understanding.

We do have a lot of topics that kinda veer off from time to time and can be very funny imo. OldHippy usually reminds us to get back on topic. I can see both sides of this and am rather ambivalent about it, it was meant in jest, maybe could have been clearer of that intent but hey ho.

if you have any issue whatsoever with the moderation and how it is conducted please DM @Mark. He’s the boss after all.

 

lets not get into an argument of any kind unnecessarily.

I was on a holiday and missed something...

Now I am back, a question from me:

This is on my table, does anybody know what it is?

 

[AndyGSi]

It's a German Aircraft clock.

[RichardHarris123]

I didn't know it was German but I would of guessed at an aircraft clock.

[nevenbekriev]

Yes, it is WWII Messerschmitt control desk clock.

Your 1st photo already reveals what it is: a ’Borduhr’ 

Junghans J30BZ (with chronograph).
