Question
Hello! We recently inherited an antique wall clock that has NO marks whatsoever on it except for an 8104 slightly indented on the back wood piece. However, someone suggested taking off the hands and the face and looking on the movement for any marks. There is a double circle encompassing an equilateral triangle with an s in the middle. The s has two straight, short marks in the middle curve, like quote marks with seraphs. Almost like a dollar sign where the lines in the middle do not reach to the top and bottom curves. Any idea which company may have that mark? Thank you very much!!!

Answer
a reply from my friends on the Net:
"Except for the double circle (and my observation was the stamp on a movement which might not have been an exact representation of a dial logo) this movement describes one used by Nam Young of Korea. The movement appeared to be older than what we typically connect with Korea. It was an isolated movement so I couldn't  zero in any more. By the way, the name was stamped on the back of the plate.
