The key may be from India, but the clock is not.
Wonderful! I'll be in touch.
I recently acquired this interesting, and mostly original, Seth Thomas #4 tower clock movement. It's a secondary, or "slave" clock (master/slave...
It should be a crank, not a key, and they are generally either a #4 or a #5, which you can order from Merritt's or any of the other suppliers.
Yes, there is a master link, just like on any roller chain (think bicycle chain). If the tin tube is not repairable (they often are), thin wall...
Tower clock movements are just like any other clock movement, but on a grand scale. They still need careful, well documented disassembly,...
Daniel Pratt and his various companies were dealers of clocks made by others. Hard to tell who the maker is without pictures of the movement....

That's one of my examples. I had several nice cherry brackets made up several years ago to display wooden movements. The parts you seek are...

Why does the focus change in the upper right hand corner as the poltergisitic activity occurs?
This an American tall case clock movement, likely circa 1805-20. What is the distance between the plates?
From Chris Klingemier in Ohio: I will search my files (piles) for the labels from the other known Selah Whitings. I believe that the others only...
I suspect that, as been suggested above, this is a Selah Whiting clock, sold in Wayne Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio. Selah was the Brother of...
