This mahogany-cased wall clock was made by F. Kroeber, New York, but it has a nameplate and instruction label of “Cook & Jaques” inside the case. The movement is labeled “F. Kroeber, New York”

Kroeber probably bought the movement from a maker such as Noah Pomeroy, who commonly made the type of escapement used in this clock (strip deadbeat),

This clock has a special pendulum with an adjusting scale, patented by F. Kroeber on March 29, 1881.

The case is 29 3/4 inches long without the bottom finial.

This “Vienna” regulator by Junghans has an oak case 40 1/2 inches tall and 13 1/2 inches wide. The enamel dial is marked “W. Baum, Wein” on the center portion (Wein means Vienna). This must be the seller (or was added later) as the movement was made in Germany. The dial’s minute track is 6 1/8 inch in diameter.

I recently repaired this Sessions Regulator No. 5 wall clock. The mahogany-finished case is 50 inches tall and 19 1/2 inches wide. The dial is paper, and the minute hand is 5 7/16 inches long. The clock is listed in the Sessions 1915 catalog, and was also available in oak. The clock has a second hand.

The clock keeps time only (no striking) and is driven by two weights. The escapement is a deadbeat with strip verge and club-tooth escape wheel. The design of this movement goes back to the 1870s and the predecessor company Welch, Spring and Company.

Here’s a clock with a movement almost identical to the one in my previous post. This clock appears older, judging from the fancier case style. The case is 35 1/2 inches tall and 14 9/16 inches wide. The enamel dial has a 4 15/16 diameter minute track, and the minute hand is 2 9/6 inches long.

The movement has serial number 101683; and has “43″ on the front and “683″ on the back. Again, this movement has fine pivots and pinions, like a French clock or a Lenzkirch.

This pretty time and strike wall clock was made by Schlenker & Kienzle in Germany. The movement and the gong base have the Schlenker & Kienzle logo, as illustrated in  ”Clock & Watch Trademarks of European Origin”, Karl Kochman, S. Larose, Inc. Greensboro, NC 1984.  p. 69. The clock strikes the hour and half hour on a single gong rod.

The movement’s serial number is 189251. The movement has fine pivots and pinions like a Lenzkirch or a French clock.

The case is 25 3/4 inches tall and 11 5/8 inches wide. The metal dial has a 6 inch minute track.

I did some minor adjustments to this Sessions wall clock. I haven’t seen this particular model before. It is shaped like the wall clock commonly called a “store regulator” but is smaller, and the case is dark oak, possibly indicating that it was made in the 1920s or 1930s. It has the standard type of Sessions 8-day time and strike spring-driven movement.

The case is 23 3/4 inches tall and 12 inches wide. The paper dial has a 4 7/8 inch minute track, and the minute hand is 2 15/32 inches long.

This German time and strike wall clock has a movement labeled “Halblang”. It has very fine fine pivots and pinions, and is similar to those made by Lenzkirch. It is spring driven and strikes the hours on a coil gong.

The case is 23 1/4 inches tall (without the top) and 13 1/16 inches wide. The enamel dial’s minute track is 5 inches diameter, and the minute hand is 2 9/16 inches long.

This wooden case time only wall clock is labeled “Plymouth” on the dial but was made by Seth Thomas. The time-only pendulum movement appears to use some parts from their no. 124 chiming clock movement. The case is 14 5/8 inches tall and 9 5/8 inches wide. The minute hand is 2 3/8 inches long, and the minute track on the dial is 3 3/4 inches diameter.

The pendulum weighs 3.2 ounces, and is 6 1/2 inches long overall. The pendulum cylinder (bob) is brass, 1 15/16 inches long and 5/8 inches diameter.
