This, plus the fact that the model numbers in my 1977 catalog range from 112-337, tells me that your clock with a 381 model number probably dates from sometime between 1978 and the 1980's. Just noticed that all the clocks in my 1990's catalog have 4-digit model numbers. Open the door protecting the clock face, and measure the width of each hole precisely using a ruler or tape measure with a millimeter scale (mm), or.
#RIDGEWAY WALL CLOCK IDENTIFICATION OF WINDING SERIAL NUMBERS#
Perhaps someone more familiar with Ridgeway serial numbers (or with a different catalog than mine) might be able to comment further.Īnyway, sorry I wasn't of more help. Newly purchased clocks of this type should come with a key or crank, but if you acquired a used clock, or misplaced the winding implement, you can find a new one online or from a clockmaker. A granddaughter clock is from 36 inches to 4 6 inches. 30-hour Ogee clocks are also tough to sell because of the hassle of winding them every day. DeCarles Watch and Clock Encyclopedia gives 6 6 inches as the median height distinction between the two, which would make yours a grandmother clock. But based on the similarity I would hazard a guess that your clock dates from approximately the 1990's, or maybe the 1980's or 2000's. OG (Ogee) clocks are clearly antiques, some more than 150 years old, but because thousands were made they are not as collectible as a one-of-a-kind 17th century English lantern clock. There were a few clocks in my 1990's-era catalog that had passing resemblances to your clock, but had differences as well.
But yours may have come out a couple/few years earlier or later my catalogs. I went ahead and looked through my catalogs and unfortunately didn't find yours listed. Hmm, member "Antiques" was asking for the model number of his/her clock, and it looks like you already have the model number of yours: model 381. From stately grandfather clocks to a SpongeBob wristwatch, and from vintage pocket watches to an atomic clock that will be accurate to within a second for millennia, the Watch & Clock Museum houses more than 13,000 timekeepers and ephemera from around the world.
