    Replacement screws for Chelsea Ship's Clock

    Hello all, I have a nice time only Chelsea ship's clock from 1915. It is in pretty good shape other than the fact that it is missing the three screws which secure the movement and dial to the case. Would anyone happen to know the size of screws I need for this? Thanks! Denis G

    Interesting Swiss Clock

    Well, I have got into the movement, and it is made by Azura, 8day, 15 jewels and of course looks more like a pocket watch movement. It is fully wound, and isn't running... I am loathe to touch it as I have no experience with smaller movements. Denis

    Hello all, I have a French bronze/gilt clock which would seem to be a nice example of its genre. It has two matching candelabra which I have not pictured. It has a typical French movement, yet the dial as can be seen from the pictures is marked 'Roterdam', and the ornate decorations on the...

    English Tall Case Clock - Wm. Crisp

    Thanks Frank! Any other input on this clock or maker? I'm hoping some of our European friends may chime in tomorrow. If I am correct on the approximate age of this clock, does that make it a relatively early example of a rack striking movement as opposed to countwheel? Denis

    Wanted: Parts movement for Gilbert Admiral

    All, Re-posting on this thread as I am still looking for the right parts or movement for this clock. I did purchase a movement from another member, but unfortunately the minute shaft/hour pipe assembly is too short. Argh!! :bang: Denis

    Black Forest Beauty

    As promised, a couple of pictures of the movement (somewhat blurry, apologies), but I did get a good closeup of the maker's mark and the number 1844. Is this a serial number or a date? The pendulum rod is long, and the bob double sided brass. Denis Just wanted to raise my question again...
