Hello to the group! My name is Rick Lundquist and Ilive in beautiful Western New York State in Jamestown. I have worked on and collected clocks for over 15 years. I have taken a break from clockwork for the last few years to finish my Master's Dregree (with honors) and now I am back.
Sitting on my bench is a Mauthe Grandfather clock
movement, weight driven, West. Chimes. Case is from the Colonial Clock Co. I believe this to date from Pre-WW2. The case # is 1464 and the movement #seems to be #54. This info is from Tran Du Ly's book on Longcase Clocks-the section on Colonial Man. and the article in the August 2002 Bulletin. It runs well, but I have questions about the movement itself. I think I may be missing parts. I got it cheap from an Estate sale - I think the man tried to "improve" it. It is clean, pivots polished, etc. Can anyone help me with this movement? Diagrams?Repair advice? Thanks so much.
