Would Love an Identification

[Ecotrin]

Hello all,

Could someone help me in identifying this clock? This was my grandmother's and it has been sitting all of these years. Obviously isn't ticking but I also do not want to mess with it. Looks like there are the initials LFS and a number 15 on the movement but nothing on the clock face. I would appreciate any feedback.

thank you,

Movement seems to be made by Lorenz Furtwängler & Söhne in Furtwangen/Germany.

It is a time only pendulum clock that I would guess to originate around 1920 or so. The dial strikes me as a possible replacement because the brass looks new. The only way to further identify the model name woild be from a manufacurers catalog. Reprints of catalogs for the large USA companies are common. I am not aware of a source for smaller German companies. You might try a German clock collecting group or the NAWCC. I am quite confident that your clock could be set running again with a cleaning reoiling and timing. A movement like that would be a good starter project for a clock repair class if one is available Otherwise have it worked on by a clock repair shop.
