To identify your old vintage floor clock, you can use the manufacturer or company name. There are a few places the name may be printed or engraved, including near the center of the dial, around the edge of the face, on the back plate of the watch movement, or on a paper or plastic label attached to the back of the watch.

Rare and unique watches, like the Boston # 11 vintage watch, can cost thousands (the Boston sold for almost $3000). Mass-produced floor clocks, at the price range on eBay, range from 50 to 500 dollars, depending on the brand, model and whether it is actually a functional clock.
