As Confucius is reported to have said, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"....so yes, picture(s) could be helpful with identification.

Unless you know the previous service history of the clock, it may very well need to be cleaned and lubricated. Generally spring wound clocks should be oiled every two to three years. Although clocks have been known to run for many years with little or no attention, it's wiser to have them serviced on a regular basis.
