• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Picked up at a sale any idea on maker and date

    Sure looks like it. Do you have any idea of when it was made and what the suspension spring thickness is.

    Thanks for the update. I was going by the photos and associated names as you may have guessed. I haven't done anything with it yet but I'm sure I will have to check that suspension. Thanks DPC

    Picked up at a sale any idea on maker and date

    I found this languishing at an estate sale and decided to bring it home. Appears to be of older design but it has no trademark anywhere on it. The number 77725 on the lower corner of the back plate and on the bottom of the pendulum are its only markings. The dial resmbles a Phillip Haas if you...

    Tip for replacing the hammer leather.

    This can also be used to harden overly soft leather a bit. Varathane makes the same product.

    Customer Tubular

    I stopped by on my way back from Kansas and took more photos of this clock. The clock is at a deceased parents house and no one has a place to for it. They want to sell it but have no idea of current value. Looking for buyers. I don't have a place for such a big clock either. I looked for a...

    Customer Tubular

    I am going to Kansas and will pass through OKC. If one of the family is available I will stop and get more details. None of the family has a place for such a large clock. They are wanting to sell it where it is in their parents home which will also be sold later as part of their estate. DPC

    One of my customers has an Illinois Bunn Special. She wants to know if it unusual and does it have any particular value as a collectors piece. I don't have much watch experience so I can't help her. Anyone have any information that might help her out
