Juba clock - How old? How much?

Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:25 pm     Post subject: Juba clock - How old? How much?

I bought a mantle clock from a gentleman who was clearing out some of his collection.

It has no identifying labels or dates on it, except 'Juba' written on the key.
My questions are -

What do I look for to ascertain when this Juba mantle clock was made, given that their are no identifying marks?

Are their any stylistic features, looks and/or mechanics that belonged to given decades or periods for Juba clock?

Are their any sources I can access that tell me about the history of Juba clocks?

If I can figure out that it is indeed 100 years old or so, is it worth much?

(I'll post images once i work out how)

I would appreciate any help on identifying the age, origin and maybe even value of this clock. [/quote][/url]

After performing a quick search, it appears that Juba was a German clock company. I believe that they produced clocks around the early 20th century (although production could date back previous to that). I am not certain if they were strictly a movement manufacturer (or if they made/designed the cases as well). Please keep checking back for any possible further posts from our more experienced patrons.
