Question:
I have the three red wing wall clocks by the mursen clock company of 1947. The question is on the clock movement. Two of the clocks have a lanshire movement and one (gretta) has a sessions movement. Is that correct? Did they use various manufacturer movements? Of the three is one of them more valuable than the others? thanks toml

Answer: Hello

I can’t say for sure on the clock movements, I know some are of a different style, I would guess that what you have is original to the clocks. Think the Mammy is worth the most, as it is a more cross collectible. They do make a great set!

thanks, steve n rose
