Coming Soon!
These are some preview photos of clocks that are not yet finished. Some still need veneer repairs, or other mechanical work. Some are merely project clocks that are patiently awaiting restoration.
A Miniature Brewster & Ingrahams Ogee. I need a movement, dial and parts to complete this clock. It was purchased bery inexpensively as just a case.
Dual Chime Westminster / Whittington by Gustav Becker. I have the dial and movement, which both need attention, as well as the case, which were all damaged in the mail. It's a year later, and I'm still waiting for my insurance claim on this clock to be paid out.
HAC Westminster / Whittington. Again, this is a photo of just the case, the movement needs cleaning.
Rare 8 Day Lyre Movement Seth Thomas Column Clock (Plymouth Hollow era). This one is awaiting restoration as well. It needs a new top molding made, and several parts of the case need gluing. It also needs work done on the movement.
Smiths Mantle clock. This one only needs cleaning, and new clicksprings.
18th century, and exceptionally rare diamond dial clock. The case is not original, but the clock dates to about 1750. It has been cleaned, and is in good working order. I need to make/buy a new pendulum for it. I'm using a temporary one at the moment. I also need a narrower clock weight.
Boardman & Wells wooden works clock. This is a restoration project that's still in progress.
E.N.Welch / JC Brown 8 day ogee with lyre/Acorn movement. This is also a restoration project that's waiting to be done.
Carl Werner Vienna clock. This one needs work done to the case. The movement has been cleaned and is in excellent running order. The case was treated for woodworm infestation, but still needs to be reassembled and touched up.
Austrian Portico clock. This one needs major work. The entire case will need to be stripped down to bare wood, and I will have to start from scratch if I ever hope to make this clock look good/original again. The entire clock was covered in a thick plaster and then a glaze, and it will be very hard to remove it. It will also need a glass bezel. It has grande sonnerie striking.
Peerless 1/4 strike ting tang on gongs. This sad clock has some serious/bad modifications, and I need more tools to be able to properly repair it.
Waterbury Mini ogee. Needs a dial, and cleaning.
This lovely old Ansonia Cast Iron clock was given to me by a good friend. As you can see, it will need a LOT of work. It needs to be fully stripped, cleaned up (rust), then repainted. The movement is there, but it's missing the pendulum, the hands, and some mounting screws, as well as the dial bezel and glass.
This is a lovely Samuel Terry Wooden works clock. It needs only a new top made, and to have a glass painted for it. The movement and case will need cleaning, and various repairs, but overall it's complete, and in good shape.
A lovely Waterbury Beehive clock. It needs a good deal of restoration. I have stripped it, and partially disassembled it, but it's been on the "to do" list for years now.
Here is a case for an early Seth Thomas wooden works clock. I also have a nice dial for the clock, and I have since then, stripped it, and made all the top pieces. It's missing a door, which I'll make.
"Cupid" Iron Front Clock. It's currently just an empty case. The movement that was with it was wrong, and totally rusted beyond help. It needs to be stripped and redone in gold.
Smiths Lantern Clock. This one is all done, but I need to resilver the dial, and I might also silver the fake bell.
Laterndluhr Project. This is an ongoing project. I'm more or less ready to build it, but I need time to do it.
E.N.Welch Mini Ogee Clock.
Vienna Clock (Project). I have no plans drawn up for a case yet, but I have a nice, complete movement.
I also have several other uncased movements and projects.
