Wonderful looking clock. I'm looking at Sellink's book Dutch Domestic Clock. Page 37 to 43 show Framed Clocks similar to what you have in regard to dial and movement. In looking at what I see and read ..I might suggest that the clock is possibly from Berg , a village in the Dutch province of...

I haven't looked at the message board in a long time. Can't believe no one responded to this . I have a very similar Staartklok. It looks to me to be one of the first Staartkloks when the transition from Stoeljekloks with its crown escapement to the Staartklok and the anchor was taking place...

I acquired this clock from the Koolen collection last year at auction. I remember fondly visiting with them at their house. I had brought an old timer with me who collected Dutch clocks. I needed a part ..they insisted we have lunch. My wife wanted to make room for an office and so I had to...

Sorry about not getting the proper photos. Nick has hit on the what I think is my frustration. This is an 19th century Scottish longcase movement. The hour hand is a repo . It is thinner than the shoulder it sits on. Unfortunately I dropped the clip ..I realize both prongs needed to be in the...

The top of the hood would be most likely be leather covered as well ...a lot can happen to a case in 200 years. Not sure what hide glue residue looks like a century later but I trust your observations. I've thought the same as you with one of my own Staartkloks. But countless examples...

Not sure what more to show. You see my fingers holding a clip of sorts that slides into the groove of the snail that holds the hour hand. I think now the actual hour hand is to thin ...looking for ideas as to make that clip again so that it puts pressure on the hand and holds it in place. My...

I think ..I'm may just be understanding as i wrote my post whats going wrong with the hand being too thin.

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble securing this hour hand. Not sure what you call it, what do you call it? ..but someone has already attempted making a washer /slot concave to apply pressure. Its not working and a poor fit. Any suggestions as to how to make a better one? I'm also think...

Nice find! I think you would find the holes if the chimneys were there. It should have ornaments. My thought would be early 19th, late 18th century. Like others said google "staartklok parts" and you should find what you need

Hi all, It been awhile ..looks a little different here. Always nice when someone you know calls and says they found a clock...its in pieces and for the most part all there. Needs hinges, glass, and a door lock. "You can have it", he says. So I made him a deal ...he cleans up the case...

Wow ..maybe you paid more for the the Sellink's book than the Stoelklok. I just bought two Staartkloks which had me reading as well. I do have a Stoelklok but I have to say your's is very nice.

Congrats on a fantastic find! I'm no expert but I think this is what they would call a Leewarder type Stoelklok. A double top plate and large robust movement. They also have sawn-out mermaids. The mermaids to my understanding symbolize the effluence of time. You can find a very similar clock...

very nice ...you are wetting my appetite to go hunting again

Well that's because I cleaned it. :)

I think I read somewhere that the puppets found on the top of Staartkloks where to represent "Freedmen" or freed slaves in Greek / Roman Mythology...could it be these infants also portray that? ..possibly in my mind saying "born free" ..I'm making that up ....but I would think there would be...

I have very similar cherubs on the dial of my Startklok which I would put near 1750 ...they have the draping ..not the cape. This is very good for renewing my interest and i must follow along more often. Thanks

Similarly I just picked up my first Seth Thomas 5 bell yesterday ..been a year or two since purchasing a clock but this was one on my list...a Kijiji find ...i'm loving the bells ..once I fixed the dislodged click spring on the chimes main spring.

My parents were both from Ferwerd immigrated to Canada in 1950 ..they spoke Frisian in the house...I understand it mostly ..struggle to speak it.. but wouldn't take long if immersed in it. Most of my cousins of which I'm the youngest are scattered about Frisland.

Dat is erg leuk.

Certainly used the time to dust and clean. Gave thought to rearranging but our eyes have been trained to seek out the time in certain places so for the most part they went back to where they were. A few changes..the Frisian Stoelklok ended up on the wall in the basement..my wife never really...
