I've just purchased what I think is a very interesting clock inlaid Victorian clock. I think it is German because there are some repairers notes on the inside of the back door which appear to be in German. There are three trains and two gongs with a repeat cord and a silent lever. It strikes the hour on the hour and one strike at the first quarter, two at the second and three at the third. There appears to be a day-of-the-month function in the centre of the dial. The suspension is silk and there is a makers stamp which looks like a combined J and K on the back of the movement at the bottom. There is no indication of what the second gong does or the third train, so something must be wrong somewhere. I haven't taken it apart yet to find out.
I've looked everywhere that I know to identify the makers stamp but haven't found anything. I'm hoping that one of you will know the answer.
I've included some photographs that I hope will help in the identification.
Thanks in advance for your help.
