love this bigtime:)
Hi, the case on this looks like a clock my grandmother had - American, from the early Art Deco period. For many years, I wondered if the case were 'incomplete', but the reverse of your clock looks exactly like my grandmother's, so I supposed that the case on mine is not incomplete.
Hi, AR8Jason. Great info. May I ask, my clock is unmarked, but the back looks exactly like that pictured above. Do you think one could be by Marcus, too? Many thanks!
Thanks 4 the love & info AR8!
Thanks 4 the love Bruce, Bellin & kerry.
Thank you very much, AR8Jason! Once again, I never knew that!
Nice research Kevin! Allow me to chime in a little (yes pun intended), I found another Marcus & Co. Swiss Clock which sold at auction for $40 in Florida 1/2011. It's not really possible to tell from the photo but the glare suggests a crystal over the dial. Reportedly, it was circa 1930. It has a rectangular case, but it looks very similar to your clock Misty. http://p2.la-img.com/769/23579/8384322_1_l.jpg
