Victorian Clock:Gilbert or Western?

Help!I have a clock that my Great Grandma owned and for the last five or six years have been trying to find information. I looked up Angel fire's web page and found my clock in their cataloge,listed as made by the Western Clock MFG Co.,a reference book I looked at years ago listed this clock as Gilbert.Any help is appreciated!

Can you give a detailed description? Or better yet, put a photo on a web site & post the URL here? The 2 clock companies were never connected, so one of your references have the wrong information.

Chris, I found your clock in my book, Antique Clocks by Swedberg on page 126. Here is what it says: 'Unmarked metal-front mantel clock, patented Oct. 18, 1902, brass case with angel figure at top, 30-hour, time only, 8' wide, 10' high, value $70'.

Perhaps the confusion in maker has been caused by the original clock being replaced in the stand at some time.

If you email the person on Angelfire that is trying to sell it, perhaps they could give you some additional information.

Sorry I was unable to solve the mystery & just added to it. Since your stand is marked A.F. #115 I wonder if the stand was produced by one company & other clock companies purchased it to put their clocks in. Much like a porc. co. producing blanks that other porc. companies purchased to stamp or paint their own design on. Debbie
