[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 249861, member: 25"]It does appear to be a typical bulkhead clock form, but the two winding holes need explanation. It could be both holes wind a pair of going springs for longer duration, it could be there is a normal hour strike and it could be that it has a ship's bell strike (1 to 8 bells in a four hour watch period. Ships bell strike would be commercially more attractive. If you open the front and look at the edge of the dial you will see 3 or 4 screw heads. Remove these and the entire dial and movement will lift out. If you do this and photograph it, please do it somewhere better lit as the pictures posted are very poor. I doubt the presentation idea, it is a very ordinary object of the time. Maybe Nordstrom made it and the other company retailed it.[/QUOTE]
