Hi Allen, perhaps consider contacting an expert in the field of Horology. There are a number of organisations and societies that may be able to assist you further, perhaps try the Australian Antiquarian Horological Society http://www.clockandwatchclub.com/default.htm or the Antiquarian Horological Society in the United Kingdom http://www.ahsoc.demon.co.uk/

We have a Henry Marc - Hi Marc on back oval plate, 19462 model. It is white marble with a reclining lady on the top in bronze. Any idea of dates for this? We have provenance to late nineteenth century.
