This clock was made in 1885 by Friedrich Mauthe.

The symbol (bird over circle with intials F/M/S) indicates German Manufacturer Friedrich Mauthe, Swchwenningen Germany. 

When I got it it needed a few adjustments and now runs great.  I'm still making adjustments so it will keep good time.  It is an eight day wind-up clock, not weight drivien.

The hanging wire is to advance the gong.  It strikes once on the half hour and the time on the hour.
