Any markings on or in the clock? Underneath? Back side? Does it run/keep time?

Unfortunately the clock does not have any markings or stickers anywhere I can see. There are a couple pencils markings which I assume are measurements and the key does have a number on it but that's it. I enclosed some more photos for possible help.

The clock is functional and even the alarm works as well.

Believe it's a vintage Batalha clock originating in Portugal. Check this link for more info:
Batalha Clock Company - Steeple Clock with Alarm Mechanism - Made in Portugal - (circa 1970s) - WNS-CLK-142

I was starting to think I was never going to find out the origins of this clock. Much appreciation to you Webster734 for the identification! Unfortunately I was thinking the clock was much, much older than 1970s. Oh well it is still a neat piece. Thanks again.
