If you are looking on information on Emilian Wehrle and his clocks please feel free to contact me through my website at www.blackfoerestclocks.org. We have many clocks made by Emilian Wehrle & Co. in the collection, along with original factory literature. The story about the American motif trumpeter clock with eagle, shield, and " E. Pluribus Unum" I find interesting. The clock you are referencing is a model #6 in the firms catalog and was widely available for purchase during the last quarter of the 19th century. It carried a wholesale price of 125 marks. We have the original catalog and price list here and would be happy to share it with you. Best, Justin J. Miller Mr Woodell.

It really has been a multi-generational interest in the Rockford area. Although my sister and I do not live in the area, one of my sons has moved to Winnebago County and is working on agricultural and conservation related projects. Best Regards, Seth Lang Atwood Frank and Webbs,
