Gustav Becker * Westminster chime

Gustav Becker serial numbers to the Freiburg works. The Freiburg works produced about 2,510,000 serially numbered clocks from the beginning in 1847 up to mid-1925 when the numbering system was changed for as yet unknown reasons. Here are Freiburg works serial numbers for the period 1847 through mid-1925, taken from a table I have developed from a database of over 2,900 clocks including many dated examples in that period as well as being dated by patents, trade advertisements, catalogs, and other information:
1847: 0000001 1848: 0000051 1849: 0000121 1850: 0000251 1851: 0000481 1852: 0000721 1853: 0000971 1854: 0001241 1855: 0001541 1856: 0001881 1857: 0002271 1858: 0002721 1859: 0003251 1860: 0003901 1861: 0005101 1862: 0006901 1863: 0009301 1864: 0011901 1865: 0014801 1866: 0018001 1867: 0021701 1868: 0025901 1869: 0030601 1870: 0035801 1871: 0041801 1872: 0049501 1873: 0059901 1874: 0073001 1875: 0089301 1876: 0109001 1877: 0132401 1878: 0159901 1879: 0192001 1880: 0228701 1881: 0270001 1882: 0316001 1883: 0365001 1884: 0416001 1885: 0469001 1886: 0526001 1887: 0588001 1888: 0656001 1889: 0729001 1890: 0805001 1891: 0882001 1892: 0958001 1893: 1030001 1894: 1096001 1895: 1156001 1896: 1212001 1897: 1265001 1898: 1316001 1899: 1366001 1900: 1441001 1901: 1530001 1902: 1610001 1903: 1683001 1904: 1753001 1905: 1821001 1906: 1887001 1907: 1951001 1908: 2013001 1909: 2073001 1910: 2130001 1911: 2184001 1912: 2231501 1913: 2266001 1914: 2285001 1915: 2297001 1916: 2306001 1917: 2315001 1918: 2331001 1919: 2349001 1920: 2370001 1921: 2393001 1922: 2418001 1923: 2444001 1924: 2470001 1925: 2496001 1925.5: 2510001
These numbers indicate the first serial number used for each calendar year. Highest recorded serial number to date is 2508167. They also ceased using the circular Gustav Becker anchor logo and the Medaille d'Or at the same time. Only the Gustav Becker anchor logo or Gustav Becker name is found on clocks made after the change...
The main significance between the two layouts is that in 1875 Gustav Becker was awarded the "Medaille d'Or" at a major exposition, and from that point introduced Both of the two logos at the same time. Neither the Medaille d'Or or the round Gustav Becker Freiburg in Schl logo existed prior to about August 1875. The first use of these logos is with the Medaille d'Or to the left, and the Gustav Becker Freiburg in Schl logo to the right. The previous logo, a Gustav Becker anchor with crown and the words "Gustav Becker Freiburg i/S" continued in use until the first half of 1877, intermingled with clocks having the Medaille d'Or; Gustav Becker Freiburg in Schl logos.
In late 1877, the order of the Medaille d'Or and Gustav Becker Freiburg in Schl logos began to be reversed on some clocks. There does not appear to be a correlation as to what type of clock. This continued until 1896 with the first position (Medaille d'Or to the left) appearing on a fair majority of clocks. From 1896 on the Gustav Becker Freiburg in Schl is stamped to the left when it was used...
