    Help Please to Identify Regulator Wall Clock

    Thanks Walt, JTD, Tatyana - your replies have greatly encouraged me to keep and restore this clock. It's reassuring to learn that it has genuine German pedigree, even if a little unconventional. Kind regards, Hugh

    Help Please to Identify Regulator Wall Clock

    I bought this large regulator recently at a local auction and need help with identification. With top and bottom decorations fitted it measures about 1.4 metres high by 470mm wide by 200mm deep. It has a very nice dial with Arabic numerals. The only markings found on it so far are "160265" on...

    Is This an 1850s New Haven?

    Many thanks to everyone who responded, enabling a reasonably positive ID to be made. I'm really stoked with the somewhat surprising result. Cheers, Hugh

    Is This an 1850s New Haven?

    Thanks very much for studying the label so closely and yes, I now agree with your findings, especially after examining it more closely in today's sunshine (mid-summer here!). Therefore, I'll record it as a Holloway but what about the movement? Could it be a Morse? Best regards, Hugh

    Is This an 1850s New Haven?

    Steven, really appreciate your quick and helpful response. After skimming through the various links, I'm now inclined to think it is a Connecticut Clock Co. piece with Morse movement - not New Haven. Just noticed one feature of the movement - the circular dished shape pressed into the large...

    Is This an 1850s New Haven?

    Was offered this just in time for Christmas when the seller (with encouragement from his wife) recognized that his long-time project was going nowhere. He had been told by a local repairer that it was an American movement in a British case, so I immediately thought of New Haven/Jerome. The...

    Weight-Driven Vienna Regulator - Information Please

    Re: Weight-Driven Vienna Regulator - Informationn Please John, thanks so much for your helpful reply and I am absolutely now committed to keeping the VR, as it continues to go well, requiring minimal adjustment to the minute hand (less than 1/2 min.) when I wind it each Sunday. It's also great...

    Weight-Driven Vienna Regulator - Information Please

    Re: Weight-Driven Vienna Regulator - Informationn Please Thanks Scott for taking the trouble to respond. Agree that mine looks very much like yours and Pee-Tah's but it's going so well that I am reluctant to take it apart to look for numbers etc. at the moment. Even detaching the pendulum is a...

    Weight-Driven Vienna Regulator - Information Please

    Bought this little beauty at a local auction a few days ago and, although I paid top dollar, am thoroughly pleased with my purchase. I think it's the first antique clock I have bought that worked fine as soon as I had set it up - just needed to bend hands a little to stop fouling. Pendulum...

    Help please to date Seth Thomas steeple 8 Day

    Last week's auction buy which I'm very happy to now own. We don't see many genuine old ST clocks in this part of the world, so I would like to know more about it: manufacturing date; is case the original and if so what is the wood?; what is the bird and is it reverse painted? It seems to go...

    Ansonia Kitchen Clock

    Having just finished restoring a similar Ansonia, maybe my limited experience may be of some help. Did you time the strike? It is necessary to get the S4 pinion meshing with the correct teeth in S3 so the strike lever just drops in to the S3 slot before the S4 pin is stopped. Also the strike...

    Tambour Clock with Nice Wood Inlay - what is it?

    Bought this at auction a few days ago, thinking it was a Sessions, as I could not see the movement but spied a Sessions pendulum bob. After removing the dial plate, was shocked to find the butchery that someone had inflicted on this otherwise nice old piece, leaving a none too artistic...

    Annular Dial Clock - Information Please

    I'll sneak this one in, even though it is not strictly my newest clock acquisition, but one bought at auction about a month ago. A friend found a picture of what appears to be an identical clock, described as French, antique c1885, with provision for a candle to be lit inside the globe, which is...

    Help Please to Identify Pseudo-Vienna Regulator

    This recent auction find has me wondering who made it and when. The movement carries a quite distinctive logo comprising a star within a horse-shoe (see picture). An old booklet in my shelf "Germany's Older Clock Factories" says it is Konkurrenz but gives no other details. Overall sizes are 31...
