Larry,

Fun item! Great pics! Nice item to add to anyone's collection.

Ball's retail outlet sold all kinds of interesting stuff. I have a swiss travel clock siged by Webb.

I once saw some silverware on Ebay with Webb's name on it but it went too high. Everytime I see some silverware at an estate or flea market I look for the retailers name! I do have a spoon with C.C. Fried's name on it to match my private label.

happy hunting,

Base, would anybody out there know when this desktop clock was manufactured, and who was the manufacturer?

Thanks Bill,

I really like it, all the functions still work, yes Webb C. Ball did offer many items from jewelry store, I have a silver sugar bowl and creamer, and many Brotherhood pins, badges, and I have two silver spoons from the dedication of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Building in Cleveland. I would like to see a picture of your C. C. Freid spoon
