The pendulum would slide higher, but the rod is not threaded that high.Purchase Your Clock Parts Online from the Clock Shop (FYI: the red wire around the bottom of the pendulum was an experiment. It has now been running for a few days straight I just cant seem to figure out why it loses time so fast. I oiled the coils, and continued to restart the pendulum. The coil seemed to be sticking and stopping the clock. Since I think the clock was in storage and not operating for many years, I am hoping letting it run and "unwind" itself might get it ticking right? I am a novice, but when I got the clock the people had wound it so tight that they stripped the key. I have been able to get it operating, however, it loses several minutes per hour! I have adjusted the pendulum as high as it will go and it still runs this slow. The prior owner said it did not work and knew nothing about it. I appreciate your help with the above inquiry.Īcquired this clock and cannot find much info about it. Alternatively, does Junghans have catalogues from the 1920’s to 1950’s which may list this clock face style? Does HAU 215 provide a clue as to the age of this clock?ĭo you have any information regarding the age of this grandfather clock or anyone worldwide who can provide me info with respect to the age of this clock? The clock face may provide a clue regarding the age of this time piece. The chime block is stamped HAU 215 indicating this block was manufactured by Hamburg Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik. What does the stamping ‘NAH’ mean? What were the ages of the clocks with the stampings that you noted? I was wondering if you could provide me or point me in the right direction regarding information about this clock. In your post #1, you have also observed unusual stampings such as 'SAH', 'GAA' and 'VAH' stampings. Please refer to the attached photos showing the clock stamping with the letters ‘NAH’ on the brass back plate? This is an unusual stamping and I have noticed this on a number of Australian Junghans clocks for sale, such as ‘NAH’, ‘GAH’ and ‘VAH’. I have been unsuccessful in determining the age of this clock from any detail online such as catalogues. Some months ago, I purchased a Junghans W70 grandfather clock but I was not able to find any information regarding the age of this clock. Oh, wanted to add, I don't know what the small dial in the clock work is for, guessing it has something to do with the bell/ I will be taking it in soon for a through cleaning. There is a lever projecting from under the bell that I guess turns the bell on or off.Īny information anyone might have would be of great help. The sides have glass panels to expose the clock works. The case is about 7 1/2" tall, 6" wide and 4" deep. I have found, on many pocket watches I have, that there is usually a release point but don't want to mess with something I'm not familiar with. The right wind seems to have been over wound and doesn't turn. The one on the right winds the clock (clock runs and keeps time well) and I assume the one on the left is for the bell. This has 2 winding stems in the rear of the movement.
The dial faces seems to be celluloid with the common yellowing. The clock is in very good shape except for missing lower case pieces ( hoping the man I got this from will find them in some boxes he has).
Only Junghans I see with top bells are later alarm clocks. I have read through this entire thread and seen nothing like this. Just acquired this 1907 Junghans mantle(?) clock.
