I was curious about what was printed on the face of the clock in ER's post #10568, so I did some digging ..

The text on the clock reads "Luckenbach & Co. 141 S. Spring" In 1909 John Luckenbach owned a wholesale jewelers store located at the above address. In 1906, after the San Francisco earthquake, Luckenbach was appointed as one of the members of the Los Angeles Citizens Relief Committie to help raise funds after the disaster.

In the Dec. 13,1909 edition of the "Jewelers Circular" magazine, Luckenbach announced he intended to cease buisness on Jan. 1,1910.

He later bought this nice house:
