AR8Jason I just measured and it is 6' 5 " inside states made in dmgr germany
m1191. Thanks.
Christine615,
Unless someone just happens to know a clock by sight, we'll need as much information as you can glean from the movement and the case to even try to make an identification. Patent dates, manufacturer's name. Even that may not be enough. I'm coming up blank on "dmgr germany". Germany exported tons of clock movements! Many American Clock manufacturer's started up their businesses by "casing" German movements...some ended up do so before they went out of business.
Measurements are essential to know but I normally use the to confirm or rule-out a particular model.
Regards
Thanks I will keep looking in side and out for any info.
