How do you identify a clock model?
To identify a clock model, first try to determine its maker. You can then use trusted online resources to learn more about who produced your clock and get tips on identifying and dating the maker's clocks. Some makers have placed model numbers on the bases, backs or movements of clocks. You can cross-reference these numbers with online databases to identify your clock model. If you have any issues with the identification process, consider consulting a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary clocks.
