Title: Brass Lanshire Mantel Clock
Post by: playball on July 06, 2004, 06:44:48 PM

I have a beautiful Brass Mantel Clock. After looking at it and trying to figure out more about it I saw it has something printed on the clock face bottom and in the back of the clock. It says clock movement by Lanshire Chicago, IL.

I can't tell if this is Antique, Vintage or anything else about it. I found one picture that looks similiar but mine is brass with more details. Still most similiar than anything else I have seen.

Any replies welcome. First time here.

Thanks

electric?  key wind?

Have you tried a clock/watch repair service?  We inherited an old watch with a very colorful and kinda' naughty family history.  So off to our local jeweler, who also repairs all kinds of clocks & watches.  Well, he opened it up, and in little tiny writing were repair dates.  And it is solid gold.  And the stories (maybe) could be true, going by the dates.   :unsure:  

So, do you think your mantel clock might have marks of repair?  And you might get an idea of date made, and possible value.  PS:  best if you don't open the case yourself.      KB
