    Thanks for your input 'Grzesiek'. Two very nice examples. Are the spring guards the same?

    Sorry Mark. I forgot to mention that the dome is 6" dia. I'm on the hunt for one of those because what came with it was a plastic flat top creation. Regards, Al

    Thanks for your comments and suggestions. The point you've made regarding the plate screws Mark is quite obvious - now. I stripped and cleaned the movement and reassembled as normal assuming the marks were made by the head of the pins when the other side was screwed up. Since the front is not...

    I acquired this clock recently and tried to do a bit of research on it. Nothing popped up until I thought about looking through the 'Horolovar Collection' book and there it was. So now I know it's a Juf but how do you describe this style of clock? Because of the helmet, does it fall into the...

    Barr & Poole Poole Executive #5 frustrations

    Uhralt - Many thanks for all your suggestions. As I originally mentioned, the overall condition was not very good. Yes, I was able to get it running but to achieve a satisfactory operation has needed a lot of intensive inspection. Your ideas have certainly helped my understanding of its...

    Barr & Poole Poole Executive #5 frustrations

    The toggle is quite free. I've noticed that sometimes, as the pendulum swing decreases, the notch and knife edge just don't engage. That was what made me ask how deep the notch should be. I have also noticed that quite a few joints are sloppy and under regular horological practices, should be...

    Barr & Poole Poole Executive #5 frustrations

    Uhralt - I do understand regarding your time trial. After further thoughts about the toggle mechanism, I closely inspected the knife edge that engages with the notch and found that it was uneven and a little 'blunt'. In case this was a possible reason for the intermittency, I trued it up but...

    Barr & Poole Poole Executive #5 frustrations

    Uhralt, Many thanks for your suggestions. The one idea that I had not been too accurate with was the alignment of the suspension spring. That was an item that I had replaced because the original one (in my ownership) was kinked. I used a strip of clock suspension spring I had, disregarding the...

    Barr & Poole Poole Executive #5 frustrations

    I recently acquired a Poole Executive #5 clock. Its condition was not so good so I started by trying to get it going. Eventually it started to run but the impulse frequency was between 9 and 14 complete swings and not running for very long at a time. After many minor adjustments of lever...

    Thanks Peter for your additional comments and links to the various comparisons. I checked them out and the minefield becomes greater all the time. All part of the horological intrigue. Regards, Al

    Bulle Recent Bulle Acquisition

    Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a Bulle clock and being a type that I was not familiar with, I worked my way thru quite a few postings to better understand the workings. After remagnetizing as per suggestions, it now operates well. Two differences have become apparent between general...

    Serial number query

    I've just acquired this clock so please excuse its current condition. Restoration to follow. The serial number has me totally confused because of its brevity and the clock can't be as old as the number suggests. I have another clock with the identical backplate and its S/No is 2482651 which I'm...

    Clock models with 'VP' suffix

    Thanks for the responses. I'm still puzzled as to why only a very select few get this acknowledgement when so many others have their pendulums visible too. However my query has been answered.

    Clock models with 'VP' suffix

    Hi everyone. In looking thru my Ansonia book I notice a few clock models that have VP after the name. Tudor and Sharp Gothic are two that come to mind. Various threads make mention of it standing for 'Visible Pendulum' but there are a lot of similar door panels with no 'VP' added to the model...

    Identification request

    Thanks for your response Steven. You've put doubt into my mind regarding my memory and the number of star points but I'm pretty sure it was 5. The dial did look original in that the paint was just starting to curl up and flake off in places. Sorry to be so vague with the information.

    Identification request

    During recent travels I came across a clock and of course didn't have a camera to take a photo. It had a light oak case, octagonal drop dial with a calendar presentation. Above the center of the dial was a solid five pointed star and below was printed 'United States of America'. Can anyone give...

    Ansonia Illinois

    Yes, that's the one all right but have you come across any other references to the model from either owners or images of one being up for auction somewhere?
