But some of the most common things to look at first are usually the most helpful. First, look for the obvious signed dial, and/or movement. Many clock makers (and companies) put their names directly on the dial and on the movement.

Sometimes, however, the dial may have the name of a retailer, or other special name that was requested by the customer.

In this case, look at the movement for the name or trademark of the maker. Some clocks are unsigned. The manufacturer does not put their name on the clock at all. When this is the case, look next to the label.

The paper labels that were glued on many antique clocks are a wealth of information if they are still readable and intact. They tell you the name of the company (or clock maker) that made the clock along with the city, state, or country of origin. This may also help to date the clock since many companies changed either their name, or place of manufacture many times in the course of time. So if you know the time line of a company’s history, you can tell when your clock was made. Good examples of this are The Seth Thomas Clock Company, Ansonia, E. Ingraham, and The Waterbury Clock Company.

Another thing to notice is the style of the clock. These styles are well documented in clock books as to the years they were made. Some of these styles are banjo, OOG, black mantel, beehive, steeple, lantern, iron, cottage, and many more. Some of the other things that are looked at are the type of glass and stenciling, the dial (paper, tin, wood, ceramic, etc.), the type of strike (gong, bell, chime rod, etc.), case materials, hand styles, type of fasteners, and many more. All these items have dates and companies that used them along with the years they were in use.
