very cool, and awesome!!!!
Thank you BELLIN68, happy to know that you think they are cool as well as awesome.
I don't recognize the cases, so would need more specifics...any and every name/stamp/label/number/date on the cases and movements along with dimensions and high resolution photos and that may not be enough. I've stumped the staff at the NAWCC reference library several times...to my chagrin!
Hi! I found this while looking for information on my husband's old clock. It is the same as the ornate cast metal one you have pictured on the left. The finish on his is a lot more worn than on yours. Maybe yours has been restored? Also I think the clock face on yours is not original. Ours was appraised a couple years ago: the appraisers pegged it as late 19th century, with repairs, and valued it at about $50 (estate appraisal). However I also found this link: http://www.antiqueclockspriceguide.com/pages/clock3462.php
which says the clock is American c.1935. (the picture in the link looks to be about the same finish as my husband's clock, and the face is the same) So I don't know what to think.
Anyway, I thought some of this info might be helpful to you.

Hi ! the clock that you are referencing I purchased from an Estate Antique Dealer some years ago;He informed me that he purchased it from a private Estate .
If you pay close attention you will notice that my clock is made by a different manufacturer, which is, Semca, my clock is also gold-plated with rhinestones.
