ATMOS clock---trying to get info on age of my clock
I recently inherited an ATMOS clock. The best I can tell, it is an ATMOS
II type, and if I'm not mistaken, the serial # is on the dial and is
11733. I think it is circa 1940s, as it belonged to my great
grandfather.
There are no markings on the back of the clock, nor are there any underneath the clock.
I am fortunate that the clock is still in good running condition.
I have attached some photos, and I apologize in advance for the poor quality pictures.
Any help is much appreciated.

Very nice specimen, Jeremy!
Contact JLC, and provide them the same pics and the serial number, they will answer you, but don't do it before the beginning of September, as they are in Hlidays till the beginning of next week, and I guess that they will have hard time, at this moment. ...
they are brilliant clocks regardless of age. the best mantle clock made IMO
i have one and it was the best decision i ever made to buy it. its set up and apart from changing the time twice a year i dont need to touch it. it keeps time and doesnt need winding. i also have a pre 1912 Gustav Becker torsion clock which although it on...
