This model of Schatz standard 400 day clock, having an picture of a man and woman sitting on a bench in the center of the dial, is seen occasionally. I just finished repairing this one. It needed cleaning, 6 pivots polished (quite often Schatz 400 days clocks need pivot work) and a new suspension spring.
Below is a video of the complete clock running, and then a close up video of the escapement in action.
Job 4781
Back plate: 1014A

There may be a date stamp on the back of the movement, it will have digits for month and year. They started putting dates on about 1952. I can repair your clock, details are on the following web page:

I have a Schartz clock quit similar to the one above, antique white and black dial, face. But mine has a man and women on it in a different setting, the women is cascading down what appears to be brick stairs and the man at the bottom offering flowers, I’m unable to locate this one and was wondering where to take to have it fixed and its possible age & worth
