WWI U-Boat Clock
Posted by: donkeykong15 ()

Hi

I have recently seen a supposed World War One German U-Boat clock. It has a brass face & has the well-known makers name 'A.Lange & Sohne' on the clock face.

I can't find any records of Lange & Sohne making u-boat clocks and have a strong feeling it is a fake. However, I also cannot find any replica clocks that are the same either.

It has a picture of a u-boat & the engraving U- 142 on the clock face. This makes me think it is definitely a fake as I understand the original clocks do not have this on.

It does have the engraving of the following number on the rim of the clock; 13026 4-58.

Has anybody come across a similar piece at all or can give any information on it?

Many Thanks
