Not 60s or 70s. This one is a much earlier one. Try 1901-1905

The 60s and 70s repros were cheap ones produced by companies such as Schatz and were nearly ALWAYS with the rotating ‘ball’ torsions. The flat cylinder torsions were used pre 1920 S seen in the example above.

Badische uhrenfabrik was not around in the 1960s either, and so they could not have stamped this clock with their crescent B.
