Thanks Peter,
Yes another unsolved mystery! I greatly appreciate your help with this and Bob's too. I always like to know who the makers are as we all do, but this will be the mysterious wood...

I know this post is extremely old but it also helps confirm my clocks ID and re-assure me, I did well. I had confirmed that this truly was a Riley Whiting from a fellow WW clock collector who has a...

Hello all,
I acquired this tall case clock movement and was planning on it being just a parts clock. However once I received the clock and cleaned it up and inspected I realized it was all there...

Thanks gentleman for the quick responses, but the mark I'm referring to is the symbol directly above the twelve at center of moon dial. I have a couple of Herschede's and that is where the crown is...

Hello all,
I need some help identifying the maker of a Tall case clock for a client. It has the Herchede, Winterhalder,Colonial tall case look, and it a 5 tube, with the 2 small and 1 larger...

I'm sure those same workers were in the tower "tinkering" with the clock movement or controller. You can see on the video that it doesn't look like the hour hand is moving properly, then suddenly it...

Eckmill,
Thanks and I'm very thankful to have found such a unique tower clock sitting in Atlanta GA.
Thanks for the compliments on the research, I'm just one of those........I do take peoples...

Hello all,

Well there wasn't much activity on this clock as far as responses, but I was able to uncover the story behind this clock. I now am the proud owner of this clock and am thrilled with...

Well, I'm kind of sad today. The "loan time" came to an end on the GA clock.

The Davis and Barber clock was returned to its previous owner, but of course their family has owned it for 175 years...

Okay got it to work...kinda. The quality of pics isn't that good, but you will get a good overall look at the clock.

Thanks
Dan

Hi there,
I am trying to dig up some info on a Francis Perigal Tower clock. I have done the research and found all the info and references to his bracket and longcase clocks, watches, and his 3...

Thanks Tom,
Yes, I'm pretty sure that one isn't working currently and it is sitting in a museum. As well as several other very early tower clock movements.

I believe everyone has somewhat...

No problem at all, at first you had me worried that I had looked at my info wrong.:confused: Of course these all are extremely rare clocks being the age that they are and still running. They all are...

Hi,
We knew when we embarked on this journey of me and St. Michael's definitely claiming they have the oldest clock that the OSMH's clock was very close. Smith of Derby after hurricane hugo, they...

Just wanted to share that someone has already "claimed" that St. Michael's is not the oldest functioning tower clock in the U.S.A.

The Old South Meeting house in Boston is having a Bell raising...

Here is the link to the newspaper article that printed yesterday. It is in the smaller Downtown Charleston local newspaper, but the Post and Courier will do a full write up when the restoration is...

I will look into the issue of Ivory or Bone while I'm investigating. To be honest though, when I was installing the new bronze bushings into the old "ivory" bushings for my temporary fix, the reamer...

Great idea Frank, and I also thought of that the other day. I actually have an old piano in my barn, that is too far gone, and it has real Ivory keys. I removed one, however the Ivory is pretty...

That is too funny, I know what you mean brother! :smile:
I actually have a small Enfield clock that I take with me on vacations and short trips.
It was a yardsale find and I think I have 5 bucks...

Hello all,
Okay, I'm sure I'm fixing to be flooded with numerous views on what the best bushing material is......and believe me I have read Wood, teflon, delrin, and brass, all are the best in...

Thanks, it was an awesome experience. I have only completed the time train, but the church was so pleased with the results they called the news in. Over the last year, I have worked out all the...

Hey,
I have started the restoration on the St. Michael's tower clock in Charleston SC. The time train is complete, still have two more phases to go with qtr and hour strike. The church was soo...

Hello Clock family,
Can anyone help clarify if I do indeed have a Thomas Wright from Birmingham England tall case movement? I took the dial off which is a terrible repaint, and was going to work on...

Hello,
Just wanted to show off and get a little info on this triple decker that has come into my possession this last week. Not sure if it will be mine permanently, but it has been "loaned to me"...

Thanks Harold,

Just thought it was pretty good ingenuity on some ones part. It took them a while to do that either way. :D
I will eventually get the proper glass, it will look much better to me...
