    Hi,
    A nice clock with great sound. Urgos, Mauthe, and Kienzle were predominant makers of these clocks during the 1930s.
    Most dual chime floor clocks of the 1920s-1930s had rather high pitched chime sets - largely done to replicate church bells ringing out.

    Very pleased your friends bought this one. The dial is lovely. The chimes are the main draw of course and beautifully:
    * Deep
    * Resonant
    * in-tune - most important
    I've seen several of these over the years.

    Hi, lovely clock! I recently purchased a 1930s grandfather clock and have been trying to determine who manufactured
    the movement as there is not a makers mark on the clock movement at all, just a couple of numbers. My clock has similar weights, weight chain and chain eyelets as yours, as well as a similar pendulum. Through a lot of searching and comparing parts, I believe the movement in my clock to have been manufactured by Haller, and the case by Gomersalls, Blackpool. After looking at your pictures, I believe your clock may have the same origins. Regards Adrian

AAAAHHHH YES. Music to my ears. A clock made in the 1800's or the 1930's. For me the 1930's. If you go 1800's you miss out on those deep Westminster chimes. Boy those Westminster chimes. Thanks for uploading

    From about 5 seconds into the video we get some close-up looks at the grain of the case timber. Am 95% sure it’s Oak with a tiny probability of Walnut. Oak was extensively used for long case clocks of the ‘20s and 30’s, not only due to Oak being the ‘King of Timbers’, but to a new Oak supply coming online as a result of Japan’s extensive harvest of Chinese Manchurian Oak forests. Mahogany tends to have less grain than Oak and is usually distinctively red in colour. It was an expensive timber so less likely to be used for bigger jobs like a long-cased clock (though many large, grand dining tables were of Mahogany…).
    Does the little hanging ball silence BOTH sets of chime bars?

  • @marcholbeck3286

    Slide the movement out and see if it,s stamped with a manufacturers name on the rear plate. No guarantees it will be as many were left blank,especially if one company was using another,s movements. Common practice in the 1930s. While almost certainly German,Urgos is only one of numerous possibilities. No two clocks sound identical,even from the same company.I have three Enfield,s (among others) and they all sound completely different and even though the movements are the same,the chime blocks differ slightly.
    There are many examples of British manufacturers mating German or French movements to British chime gongs,so any combination is possible. Tymo.for example,often used Gufa movements. If you change the chime hammer pads you will change the sound of the chimes,so keep this set for as long as possible.

    Very nice sound!
    Plus, for the courtesy of you and others who view this, there are actually lyrics for the Westminster chime and they are below if you want to read them while listening or sing along when it is played on the hour, which occurs at the 5:26 mark.
    Lord, through this hour,
    be Thou our guide.
    So, by Thy power,
    no foot shall slide.
    These words are based on Psalm 37:23-24, where David the psalmist declares this:
    The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in His way.
    Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.

    The chimes are awsome, not like the modern ones that sound much higher. The dial and the hands look a lot like on Junghans clocks, could it be that this one is a Junghans ? You say you belive that it is an Urgos movement, can you take a look at it ?
