[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9818095, member: 2844"]I know the note says Hamburg - American Clock Co in Hamburg, but the label inside the clock is of a Leith goldsmith and watchmaker named William Wood, and it says 'Made in Württemberg'. At the time, Württemberg was still a kingdom, so an independent country. Hamburg was in another country. Württemberg is now part of south Germany, but still a long way from the city of Hamburg in the north. Leith is also a long way from Hamburg and also in another country.;)[/QUOTE]
