Additional Information
Alrighty gents.... this is a first for me. I just picked this up off the bay for $26 shipped! Repairs/parts but man that thing is a looker! I can't wait to get it fixed.
There is a plate on it says:
Bulova Electric Clock
Model Number "3120"
So I'm assuming that's what we'd call it. The very limited number of Clock ads we have show that these did in fact have model names, but we don't have one that shows this. I'm guesstimating on the date as we do have Bulova Electric Clock ads from the 30's.








Nice clock. We should be ok using the number on the ID plate. It probably also has an actual name, like all Bulova clocks, but that's going to be tricky to find.
I still see these types of movts, they come in for repair, and was under the impression the electric or quartz clocks with mechanical chimes were extinct, but I recently found that they are still being made.

Jerin,
I've been dabbling a bit in wood. The Case will clean up nicely when wiped with Mineral Spirits followed by denatured Alcohol (cleans without damaging the original finish) and any bare spots (if any) can be fixed with Old English liquid (for Dark wood). Follow up w Lemon oil.
Nice!
Dating the patent number would at least give you an earliest possible date. Nice clock.
