Topic: ID Green Glass Clock Pls?

Interesting, Wayne - I thought the same yesterday - probably FarEast...  :huh2:

S   in square and circle was Seikosha, Japan 

I tried to remove the clock from its glass mantle with no joy - will try again today. So far no further marks detected.

My clock stood untouched in a closed cabinet for years now and I noticed only yesterday that the glass is SICKly sweatening  :sun:

New photos later from home

glass mantle clocks Japan

  :hi:

 :hi: again!

more photos as promised

the glass alone looks new and nearly recycled, however, some of its edges are bevelled

the clock work looks new as well, the back as if painted to look old

no marks anywhere, I'm afraid

 :usd:

I would say your clock mechanism is 1930s to50s, could be a little earlier but very unlikely much later.

Sweating and it is green!!!!! Are your cabinets wood   I guess you will remember these threads from 7 years ago...

Just been comparing the numerals on clock in first post and Japan clock link of Pamela. The typeface does look like a close match to that on the Seikosha. Intriguingly although very different the other features of the clock match No. 3 Unknown as does style of the glass. - it would be nice to get clearer pics of that collection.

Of course Japanese mechanism does not mean Japanese glass... back to square one... but you might be able to get a date of manufacture on the clock mechanism from the Japanese company that still exists.

Thanks all for your comments.

This clock does not glow under the black light....therefore, it could be possibly made in Japan as suggested.

The Japanese have made uranium glass and have been making glass for a very long time. Frank's suggested time frame fits in very well with the avalanche of imported glass and ceramics from Japan post-War.

Japanese make uranium glass too, at least now and probably pre-WW2
