Westerstrand Clock

Thats all I know about this clock dont know what type it is so Im looking some help to tell me what sort of clock it is mabe factory of something like that.Its portable and can also be attached to any pole see the fitting on the back.Its about 12 inches square.

 

There appears to be a lengthy explanation above the movement but it is is too small for me to read.

 

Hi its the instructions for the batteries.

 

As it has "W. Germany" on the workings inside, it's earliest date is 1949. What surprises me is the name "Ever Ready" on their Blue battery. The company changed its name from Ever Ready to Eveready in the late teens to the early '20s. I would guess of this clock dates 1950s-1960s. Sorry I haven't any help on its purpose with pole/post hardware on the back.

The actual wording of the instructions could be relevant to deciding why it has such unusual construction. All the movement needs is the small battery. The items of interest are the larger battery and its function. Otherwise the only odd thing is the pole mounts. The type of movement dates it to 70s or later.

 

More likely a slave clock, I think.

 

Thank you for the replies I didnt receive a notice that there was messages , havent been able to find an example of this type of clock anywhere .Westerstrand are a Swedish maker I think and the clock seems to be vintage as they sell nothing like this now , its portabe and pole mounted will fit a big battery and see whats happening with it and thank you for looking and replying its very much appreciated.
