Dear Celione, Kerry 10456 and racer4four thankyou for your feedback. If you all had not made comment re my last Show & Tell I would have thought what I was posting was suffice. Now I know what you are looking for I will endeavour to add 4 photos of each clock with as much information as I know about each clock. So here goes Lion Clock Part 2.
1) The mechanisms in all the Jema Holland Clocks that are original all thus far appear to be carrying made in "Germany" mechanisms. Each one based on the information I have seems to run for around 30 hours when wound up fully (based on a good mechanism). I do believe the maker of the mechanisms is "Mercedes". As I can only put 4 photos here at a time I will dedicate one of my show and tells just to the Jema Holland Mechanisms as there are variations on appearance and size depending on the clock mould each goes into. Al Jema Holland Clocks were mechanical though so if you find one with a battery Clock you'll know its not original.
2)I have included a photo showing the back of the clock as requested.
3) I have included a photo showing the Maker "Jema Holland" and the clock number "469. This is one of the better stamped ones. many were very poorly stamped making it hard to spot the maker unless your skilled at it. Same goes for the Number of the clock. A dead giveaway to assist in identifying a Jema Holland Clock is in fact the number as apart from 1 Jema Clock I have Numbered (90) all the rest carry a set of 3 ONLY numbers. The collection made appears to run from (399 up to 480) TBC. If anyone find higher numbered ones I'll buy you a glass of bubbly.
Also in case anyone was wondering all Jema Holland Clocks to the best of my knowledge were ceramic only made.
In closing I think I have given all the information I can on this Lion Clock.
If you have any more questions just let me know.
Until my next show and tell.
