Kieninger & Obergfell Kundo anniversary
clock, circa 1953
Clock is about 12 inches tall to the top of the dome. The
face is a little over 3½ inches in diameter. The brass
movement cleaned up nicely and is now clean and bright. This
is a 400-day "anniversary" clock. The back plate
matches Plate 1004 in Horolover 400 Day Clock Repair
Guide, 10th Edition, by Charles Terwilliger. The plate is
labeled "Kieninger & Obergfell, AMC, Made in West
Germany". The information given for this plate indicates
a manufacture date of 1953. In general appearance and design
this clock is very similar to the 1976 Kundo shown in the
"just passing through" section below except this
clock has a glass dome, brass suspension spring cover and an
all metal base. The base has three adjustable leveling feet
that work properly. Everything looks original to me, but the
original key is missing.
This clock was a gift from a friend. It had not run for many
years and was very much in need of service. After cleaning
and oiling, and a few adjustments, the clock is now running
and looking fine
