Help Identify This Clock Please
Help with Identification Please! This clock is 19 " in height. Key wound from the rear. No name on dial. It looks like a #26 or 28 size watch. Alabaster body and marble square base. If you turn it up side down on the bottom the name NIRLICH #2 B is cast into the metal. Thanks in advance

Gordon,
I can't find anything with that name. If you could post a picture of the clock and movement it would help narrow down a date and origin.

Hello Again, My money is on FRENCH, I have over the years had one or two very similar. Nice clock, Well made movements in them. The cases sell them, as the movements are very much alike in all the ones Iv'e seen. Regards, Ged.

Thanks Tom. Your help is much appreciated. and thanks to all that looked and made comments. A clock repairman that tried to evaluate this clock 2 years ago advised me that there are no marks on the movement and recomended that I do not remove the movement for pics. ( some concern about the escapement)
