Barnum Trunk Co. Minneapolis CROSS Clock
No information or history known
Size = Palm
Winds, but does not run.
Extra Button does nothing. What is that button for?
What is the special purpose or sub-category of this clock?
I am guessing it was sold with antique steamer trunk and it was used for travel.
Barnum is a trunk company, not a clock maker.
"Cross" is the logo under the hands.
Yours is a Mark Cross clock id believe could you turn the hand so we can see it ?

Hi Sean;
Yes, CROSS. I cannot turn the hands. All I can do is wind it or push the button. It appears fully wound and the button does not do anything. If you could advise. I guess I will have to open it up to find more :)
I also want to know if I should take good care of this (somewhat valuable) or is it just a piece of garage sale junk?
