All the same, there may have been some (late 40's?) that used up the old parts floating around (or manufacturing processes) and they are perhaps rare in a strange way. I remain unaware of any clock they made before 1943-4 or so with this plastic component, and suspect it was part of the postwar reconstruction effort (Marshall plan?) to mass produce these, but we shall see. Yours has the year stamped, but many do not.

I believe this may be a way to help us differentiate pre and postwar Junghans movements that are otherwise unmarked in ways that date a particular clock movement.
