Be careful, there is also the possibility that the clock you find may be a reproduction or a marriage. Using the Maker's Name or Company Name to Identify an Antique Clock. Throughout the centuries, thousands and thousands of clocks have been made by a countless number of clockmakers and manufacturing companies in numerous styles and designs.
Richly decorated and high grade movements make them accurate and attractive to timekeepers today. The LFS and Winterhalder/Hofmeier clock cases came close to Lenzkirch standards, but Lenzkirch, it seems, was the best. Some Lenzkirch clock cases are stamped with the factory name on the back of the case.

Interpret the date code. Once you have identified a date code on your watch, you will need to interpret it, as the date is never printed in an obvious way. Bulova has used a few different systems for dating their watches.[2]Serial Number Idm
- Between 1924 and 1945, a series of symbols was used to indicate the year in which the watch was produced. If you see a symbol, do an internet search to find a table that will show year which year corresponds to which symbol. Be aware, however, that some symbols were used more than once. For example, a circle was used in 1925, 1934, and 1944.
- A transitional system was used between 1946 and 1949. In 1946, the code was 46 followed by a square. In 1947, the code was 47. In 1948, the code was 48. In 1949, the code was J9.
- Beginning in 1950, Bulova started using a code including one letter and one number. The letter indicates the decade, while the number indicates the year within the decade. The decade codes are as follows: L = 1950s, M = 1960s, N = 1970s, P = 1980s, T = 1990s. For example, if your watch is stamped with the code M8, this means your watch was produced in 1968. If it is stamped with the cope P0, your watch was produced in 1980.

Antique German Furtwangler Blackforest LFS Grandfather Clock
Item Description: Up for auction is a beautiful antique German Blackforest region tall case or grandfather clock. The clock cabinet is handmade and it is made of either walnut or black oak. The clock was manufactured by LFS (Lorenz Furtwangler & Sohne) as seen by the initials inside on the bracket and the movement still keeps perfect precision time to this day. The clock has a front door with a beveled glass rectangular panel on the bottom and a curved circular glass panel over the clock face. The door has a key lock on the side and two latch hooks which keep it closed securely. Inside it has its original brass face, hands, chains, brass weights, and adjustable pendulum. The clock never has to be wound. When the weights get to the bottom, you simply pull the chains and weights to the top and it continues to run. The clock is very simple in design with some molding at the top and base. The back of the clock is marked with a German label which I cannot read, but it is shown in the picture. Overall the clock stands approximately 7 feet tall with an 11' clock face. On the sides of the clock are two decorative covers which can be removed to access the movement for maintanence, I believe, because you can see the gears Up inside the clock I can see a cast iron plate that reads, 'DRGM 417991'. DRGM translates to German Reich Registered Design and I'm guessing 417991 is the serial number, just like other clocks have. I am unsure of the date this was made but it is likely 1860s to 1880s. This is a great antique clock that many collectors would love to have, because of its precise movement. Best of luck!
Item Condition: The overall condition of the clock is very good. It is very clean and has the standard associated wear for an item of its age. The cabinet is solid with no holes or broken areas, just light surface wear and scratches. T is a crack in the wood on the top right side panel that appears to be original because it maintains the same color patina as the rest of the wood even in the crack and I see no sign of attempts at repair or alteration. The molding on the top and bottom can be removed. It is standard dial pin construction The glass is not cracked, or broken, but does have light surface wear. The door has all of its original hinges, hooks, and lock, but three of the screws in the top hinge were replaced at some point and they split the wood below the hinge when this was done. It cannot be seen from the outside when the door is closed. The weights are solid and still work well with the chains. The movement works perfectly and still chimes on the half hour and hour with a deep strike. Besides the minor deficiencies noted, this is a great clock.
