Thanks for sharing these. Your friend was fortunate for having known you, because in sharing these delightful works of art, I feel like you allow us to know something about him and in that way he kind of lives on.
Thanks Kurt,
I asked the spring question because I am not as familiar with the Repair Guide as I would like to be. I found pate 1423 and not being aware that Kienzle clocks are represented in two locations, would have erroneously settled on this. Thanks for your knowledge. In answer to your...
Hi All,
I picked this clock up at the national last month. I am pretty sure I have a Kienzle, but I am not certain of age. Also, is the silver dial typical?

Hi All,
my wife fell in love with this clock she found in Facebook. I went to look at it with rather low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

I picked up this interesting little Gilbert at the Chapter 8 mart a few weeks back.
I cant find a rack and snail movement like this on ebay.
Just an aside, they are some real great folks, my wife and I spent a wonderful day with them!
I would like to get a new strike side main wheel...
Sorry you couldn't acquire it, but still, thanks for sharing. There were some great pictures of the escapement.
I was able to add them to my collection.
