• 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!

    Symbolism of 1840s? clock face

    I have a friend's clock which I have offered to repair and I'm trying to understand the symbolism of the scenes on the clock face. They are not politically correct but reflect the time when the clock face was painted. The painting is naive but perhaps typical of a Scottish country clock. It...

    R Gellatly Edinburgh clock Identification

    This is a link to an Edinburgh Street directory for 1855/6. https://deriv.nls.uk/dcn23/8311/83111590.23.pdf It contains an entry for a Robert Gellatly watch and clock maker of Princes Street (the main shopping street) Edinburgh. This seems likely to be your man.

    Vin I think it translates as "Dedicated to friends of the town department" . I believe you have misread "arteilung" it should be read as "abteilung". I any case you should wait for a German speaker to confirm the translation.
