The answer to that which I have postulated is a yes. If there ever were one company that would be considered a brand name, a name in the world of antique clocks for the discerning mantel clock connoisseur of valuable clocks, then that would be Raingo Freres, of Belgium, founded in 1823 by Zacharie Raingo and his four sons, with Victor being the most prominent. Many museums house their mantel clocks, including the Victoria Museum in Australia.
