Aug Schatz & Sohne, but what is it?

the only thing I find are clocks by Schatz & Sohne... would anyone know what this is? It hangs on the wall, we think it might have held an oil lamp? The screws that go through at each side might be levelers? It is 11 1/2" high, 6 3/4" wide. I am open to any suggestions because I have not found anything like it. Thanks!

 

What in the WORLD...!?

I, too, found only clocks... some of them were really intricate, complex, HUGE...

Maybe it's a part of, or an accessory to a clock that non-clock-people don't recognize.

Maybe a clock-brainiac will drop by...

 

Lots of nice photos but I still can't see the top of that brass thing that's flat on top and bowl-shaped on bottom. The
s--tbrindle brown material is what, plastic?

 

possibly bakelite, I need to test it. Here is that pic, also COULD be upside down, the metal part slides out and can go in either way, just made no sense the other way.

 

Thanks for additional photo. It looks to me like something with four small feet was standing there for years. Maybe what you have is a wall mounting for a very small clock.

 

Is the mount seen in lot no. 583 here

THATS IT!!!! I don't know how you found it but thank you!!!

 

That is amazing you found that spring

 

You ROCK, Mr. Spring. You rock.

 

Too late to the party to simply tell you it is a bracket for a 1950s-60s Schatz torsion clock. Very rare, I have never seen one in hand, but unlikely to be all that sought after.

 

BINGO!!!!!! RIGHT ON!
