On the inside of the back plate you can see the “Made in USA, K&P” which is the trademark of Kilbourne & Proctor. Bill Kilbourne was a good friend of mine and he took pride in developing this “short pendulum” timepiece with passing strike. The back of the bottom frame is die stamped “3” and the bottom of the case is stamped “3” on the left side and “80” on the right side which signifies this is the third clock made by Foster in 1980. On the back of the case is a repair label from another old friend of the family: Tony Montefusco ! Tony was a close friend of my dad and they would often get together and dig into projects when they both lived in Bergen County NJ. Foster Campos, Pembroke MA
