Clocks/Ed Neyts7 messages

Is there anyone who can give me information about "Ed Neyts" (probably written that way). It is located at the back of an oak mantel clock in the shape of 'Napoleon hat'. There is also a date (year 1945) and limited: 5/30.

However, I cannot find any information about Ed N.

Thanks in advance ,

And which CataWiki item is it? With images we can get a much better picture.

If it is not there, you can just add it to clocks and alarm clocks.

Unfortunately I cannot help you further, because I am not an expert on clocks. The name does sound Belgian, so maybe the Belgians among us know more?

Thanks for the quick response. Clock is not on Catawiki. I have lent it to someone

who is looking to find out more information about it. Have it back next week,

can take a few pictures.

That's a very correct analysis Disney! ;)

Good evening to everyone.

Promise is guilty: quickly shot a few photos. Can be found under Catawiki number.

5118558. Yes, JozefK about your analysis: then there are at least two of us. But I've had so much fun with our neighbors, that North-South, White Pete - Black Pete, ...

I don't care. I only wake up at night bathed in sweat with the question:

"Who is Ed?"

Hallo, helaas ben ik geen klokkenexpert (wel liefhebber), maar de "gravure" op de klok lijkt me niet door de klokkenmaker te zijn geplaats. Eerder heeft de eigenaar of schenker zijn naam erin gekrast.(huwelijk/geschenk/jubileum) De knagende onzekerheid over de herkomst van een voorwerp is mij zeer wel bekend.

Als amateur genealoog heb ik de naam Ed/uard Neyts gegooglt en hier zijn meerdere vermeldingen van de voornaam/naam Eduard Neyt/s te vinden vooral in de omgeving van Gent. Er is ook een familie Neyts uit Belgie uitgeweken naar Friesland, deze familie waren in de 19e eeuw koperslagers.

 mischien dat u via deze weg/contact met familie's Neyts meer informatie  kunt vragen/vinden

Hello, unfortunately I am not a clock expert (but I am an enthusiast), but the "engraving" on the clock does not seem to have been placed by the clockmaker. Previously, the owner or donor has scratched his name in it. (wedding/gift/anniversary) The nagging uncertainty about the origin of an object is well known to me.

As an amateur genealogist I googled the name Ed/uard Neyts and here are several mentions of the first name/surname Eduard Neyt/s, especially in the Ghent area. There is also a Neyts family from Belgium who moved to Friesland, these family were coppersmiths in the 19th century.

maybe you can ask/find more information through this way/contact with family's Neyts

good luck

Thanks for the info and the research work, it is indeed sometimes a search work.

But it remains a fun activity.

M.vr. gr.,
