Tom SeymourTranslation Please
The picture below shows a plaque attached to the top of a nice German clock. Can anyone help with the translation?

Andy DervanHello Tom,
It is a bit difficult to read the lettering due to flash's reflection, but I think it maybe some type of dedication clock for some kind of service...

Joseph T. CollinsTom,
Try this site. Sometimes I get lucky and get a translation that makes sense.

Tom SeymourJoe,
Thanks for the link to the site. This is what I typed in and what I got.
quote:
Herrn Josef Rollig
In anerkennung seines verdienst
vollen wirkens gewidmet von der Spar & Vorschuss
cassa in Neustadtl
Mr. Josef Rollig in acknowledgment his merit/service of full working dedicated of save & advance cassa in Neustadtl
I would figure it is to Josef Rollig for his good work at a savings and loan in Neustadtl.
Thanks again for the link.

Bernhard SchmidtIn the same aream as the link above, you can translat a whole website from for exemple english to german. It became a little bit funny when doing that with this discussion in particular
