This was a surprise Kienzle with a felt base |
.JPG) |
Felt bases are inually on JUF clocks and not so
late as Kienzle who started making 400 day clocks in 1906 |
.JPG) |
The felt is less faded under the disk pendulum,
so could be original. Note the gimbal suspension |

Wooden base as in the JUF early clocks |

The ring around the felt can be taken off to
renew the material |

Badische made poorer quality clocks than Keinzle with lantern
pinions. The 5 ball pendulum is often a feature |

A similar example, however with a different
pendulum adjustment |

The 2 examples are shown here with the later one in Lionel's
hand, the earlier example on the table |

The second Badische has had some kind of surface
treatment to give it a |

Lindsay has checked many Huber made backplates
(for others) in the Guide using a transparency to compare
arrangements |

Two of these backplates are being compared.
Some didn't pick that one was frontwind! |
