German Antique Clock Type?
I have a wooden mantel clock that my parents gave me from Germany. It is either from the sixties of World War Two era. It is key wound. On the front it has 3enlRa printed on it. It has a rectangle shaped front with curved edges. It does not have any major designs or flair on it. On the inside it has a makers mark that looks like a backwards 4 on top of a swirl. It has a sticker on the inside that says "Reinh Milde" "Uhren - Shmuck" "Bestecke" "Ulm-D., Frauenstr. 47". I need to know if any body knows any thing about this or if you know where I can go to get more information. I Really need any help i can get. Thanks!

This looks like an address, Frauenstrasse is a major shopping street in Ulm in Germany. Ulm is a largeish university city on the borders of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg - although it's in the latter.
"Uhren-Schmuk" means in English - clocks and jewellery
Riehh Milde is the name of the jeweller or his shop - "Reinh" is a contraction of Reinhardt.
Ulm has the highest church steeple in the world and is also the birthplace of Albert Einstein.

As I said, I think your clock is made in southern Germany, in Ulm. ... Take care!!
Try taking it to an antique shop. They should be able to put you in touch with an appraiser who'll be able to determine in person things that can't be determined from an online description or a photograph.
