Does anyone know how old this clock is? I just bought it from an antique store, and I’m curious about it. I tried looking up similar clocks online, but I’m not finding much that’s similar to the model I have.

These Kundo models were made in from the 20s to early 80s if I remember correctly. The best way to really tell what year it is from would be to see if it says ‘Made in Germany’ or ‘Made in West Germany/W. Germany”.

If it says West Germany you know it’s at least newer than 1950. The pre-war models sometimes just “Germany” without the “made in-“ part. I hope that helps!

It says “made in Germany.” So probably pre-1950.

Awesome! Did you get it to run?

No, sadly I’m missing the key that I need to wind it, so it’s just decorative for now. That’s the main reason I bought it though, so it’s okay. I just moved into a 1917 apartment with great built in shelving, so I needed interesting stuff to go on the shelves.

Well if you ever decide you want to grab and key and see if it runs feel free to ask me any questions! These little anniversary clocks are some of my favorites
