• 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!

    Some Jerome clocks for viewing

    Mike, A couple of pictures are attached with the gong base removed. There's a vertical dark stripe on that part of the label. If I can find a few other examples of this type of clock, I'll look for that stripe at the top of the label. Thanks for the suggestion.

I didn't realize that it may be a Leewarder type, and don't know about the heavy metal brackets that you mentioned, but will investigate and find out. The Sellink...

    This is an old Stoelklok that was found on local Craigslist last week. Here in West Michigan there are a lot of people with Dutch ancestry. The seller told me that his parents emigrated from the Netherlands many years ago, bringing this clock with them to the USA. It's pretty dirty and dusty...

    post your favorite New Haven clock

    Here's one that was found at an estate sale last week. Although unmarked, it appears to be the New Haven "Cambria" as shown on page 152 of the Tran Duy Ly book. It was missing the bottom finial, but I had one on hand that fit okay, was the right color & finish, and looks good enough for me...

    Items found in clocks

    This very old screwdriver was found in the bottom of an American woodworks clock a year or two ago. There weren't any screws in the clock, but there was a screwdriver (at least that's what I think it is). It's approx. 3-3/8" long.

    Some Jerome clocks for viewing

    Harold & RM, Thanks for your comments about the Jerome clock. I returned to the estate where the clock was purchased and found what may be the original dial. It seems to match up well with the original dial holes in the vertical supports. Thanks again.

    Some Jerome clocks for viewing

    Here's a Jeromes, Gilbert, Grant & Co clock that was acquired recently. The dial, glasses, and doorknob are not original to the clock. The dial (not pictured) is a painted steel modern repro. But it runs okay.

    German bim-bam wall clock i.d. help request

    Just acquired this German bim-bam clock. There isn't a trademark or name on the movement, but the chime block has these markings: "Glocken" and "gelaur" and "DRGM". Can anyone determine the maker of this clock by the markings on the chime block? Thanks for any information you can give. Pat L.
