OK,, Your clock has the double elephant stamp and that mark was registered to Jahresuhren-Fabrik,, August Schatz & Sohne of Triberg (Black Forest Area) Germany !! The date of registration is somewhere around 1921 to 1924 !! However it was not used until 1927 after the death of August Schatz from what is known !! So the clock,( not the case) could have been made anytime after that !! This company was known for very well made 400 day Anniversary clocks !! They may have made a few wall hangers but this case is not what they would have made !! This case is a pretty simple ordinary clock that would have been used in many homes of that time !! Schatz clocks would have been what we call “high end” clocks !! Now the question is why is this clock in this case ?? It does look like the face plate was replaced at some point !!
My opinion is that when this clock was taken to the repair shop they just replaced the works/movement with one they had in the shop that perhaps no one ever picked up after the 3 month period !! The owner would not care since they just wanted the clock to work properly and he may not have even known !! Back then these movements would not have been expensive as today !! So unless I find something else you have an inexpensive case with a more expensive movement !! Some of these movements have numbers that can date it somewhere around that trademark so look for them !! Not all are numbered but doesn`t hurt to check !!
Do not think this will change the value much but add a few dollars anyway !!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas !!
Well looks like this clock was taken to a Dutch repair shop !! I didn`t recognize the label as German language so I put it in the Google translator !! Was pretty sure it was Dutch but figured I had better be sure !! The label says,, “Moens, The recipient of this basic number must collect his repair within 3 months after delivery of this” So he took it to be repaired and had a claim check ticket,, clock had to be picked up within 3 months !! The claim check ticket is what you see in first pic !! Can`t read the second label !!
Now to the clock,,It is not an expensive clock !! Just one that many would have hanging in their homes !! The better made clocks would normally have the makers name on the faceplate if it has not been replaced !! I have one quite similar hanging here !! Good thing is most were pretty darn accurate !! There could be a name on the clockworks inside the back !! But you would have to remove the back and check !! Value on these from $125. to $175. !! Depending on condition !!
One thing that will help keep these clocks running well is to sit a small plastic lid of some type,,medicine bottle lid ect with a few drops of a good light weight oil inside the case. Either front or back if you can find a place out of the way of the pendulum !! The oil will evaporate and keep the clockworks lubricated !! Never put oil directly on the clockworks !! Evaporation will take care of any lubrication needed !! Just a few drops is all that is needed maybe twice a year !!
Forgot to put the second line,, it says “the house is not responsible if you lose this ticket !!
Here are some additional pictures I took tonight!!
Read page 2 but have more info on clock !! Not finished researching yet !!
Thank you so very much!! I appreciate all of your research efforts and time spent to help me!! You are very kind! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!!
