This is a neat working clock. I have no idea of the maker or date of this clock. I keep typing YARD etc but nothing comes up except Raymond Yard, but I think he made jewelry. Would any clock enthusiasts like to weigh in? I notice that this case looks identical to Swiza Travel clock cases, however the opening latch on this clock is at the bottom, where Swiza examples I have seen have the latch at the top when opened. This is truly another mystery. Thank You!
Thank you Bruce! Does this clock look familiar?
Ive been searching high and low...and once again I have turned up nothing my clock, but I have seen YARD watches and one other small 1920's clock but that's it. The age of this clock is hard to tell. Maybe 1950 or 60's. Anyone?
I think your right for RAYMOND YARD

Thank you! I have seen those listings and agree its a Yard. I still dont know a date of manufacture, and have never seen a photo of this type of Yard before...Im really curious!
I went to Christies website and opened an account since they were offering one free appraisal. I sent them many photos and completed the form. The said they would give me information back in 4 to 6 weeks. Has anyone else used Christies or the many such companies?
