How do you identify antique clockmakers' marks?
1 Answer
To identify antique clockmakers' marks, try taking a photo with your mobile device. A reverse image search may turn up a match that will allow you to make a positive identification. If not, type a description of the marking into a search engine or review image guides and other references published on trusted online resources. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Find a wide variety of antique clocks on 1stDibs.
