Thank you! Those are the model numbers for the case an d aren't as helpful with dating this. But the style and condition suggest this was made in the mid-to-late 20th Century. It's a handsome clock but the market for these isn't what it used to be...increasingly people want such formal pieces in their homes so the value runs towards the modest side.
Hello - The only # we can find are the etched numbers on the back (in the wood). Is there somewhere inside the clock where we should be looking? Nothing is standing out.
Thanks!
