Hello,
I'm new to this forum.
Can someone please help me identify this clock, maybe make or country of origin. All the info. I have is that it is Edwardian C1905.
Inside the case there are stamped No. 34.

taken from the gothic design of the twelfh century french and afterwards the english followed this trend with gothic catherdrals design.

it probably has a french strike mechnism and would have been made around late 19th to early 20th century. who made it? that;s the 60,000 dollar question. may have an english case maker but def french movement.

Thank you for your kind reply.
One of the feet, round brass ball type is missing.
Is ebay the best place to watch for one, or is there
some one you could recommend that may have spare parts.
