Question ID: 281658
seeking as much information as possible to the history (approximate
time period) about a travel wind up clock made by Caravelle.It
measures approximately 3 by 3 inches when closed. Is hinged in the
back and has a gold toned face with roman numerals on the face of the
clock only marks are Caravelle at the top below the XII and the word
Germany below the IV(V)being upside down which i have no symbol for on
this computer) all the roman numerals are raised from the face of the
clock , backgroud white with black numerals, the clock hands are black
tipped with that flourscent type materail that makes it glow in the
dare with each hour also having a "dot" that also glows in the
dark.only other markings are on the back of the clock at the bottom
right below the wind up key there is another word= Germany.The outside
is a definite red color some sort of plastic (bakelite) in raised
small dot fashion. The reason for my interest is simple, My father who
served in Germany during world war ll gave me this travel clock. At
first one could assume that he bought it while there, but then again I
suppose it would not just say Germany, but either made in Germany or
be not in English but German...of course that is why i am willing to
pay for an answer. Respectfully Gene Murphy

Dear freenow,

I can't provide an answer, but I have found out something that might
help you and my fellow Researchers:
"Caravelle" was (and still is) actually a brand of the American clock
manufacturer Bulova. Many clocks sold by Bulova under the Caravelle
brand were manufactured in West Germany.

well even though the answer to my question is still unanswered
unsatisfactory and i think it unfair, and i can't figure out how to
rate the person who listed a statement only, and in his own words was
not an answer i see i was charged the 5 dollars anyway, It is not a
money issue for i find this a worthwhile service, but think it unfair
that i be charged for a question that was not answered...oh well such
is life on the www.

Hello Gene

No need to worry. If you've been charged, it must be a mistake.

Use the email address at the bottom of this page to get in touch with
the editors. I'm sure no-one at Google Answers wants you to pay
without receiving an answer.

Thanks for your comments about this being a "worthwhile service". I
hope things are sorted out soon - but remember it's the weekend!

Best wishes - Leli
