Nice clock. I watched it on ebay but I was most interested in it for the hands...I have the same model but with a special dial and hands (though one of my fancy hands is broken off and gone. I have been unable to find the correct hand or replacement hands like on yours. Mine runs fine but I...
Kevin,
I do not believe that any information has to be presented in order to join. I belong to numerous groups on Facebook and it is distressing to see the things that are on a Page with the NAWCC name at the top..In order to join most groups you have to answer a question or two and have an...
The group is constantly getting spam which today involved pornography but at other times has "only" been advertising with no link to horology as well as financial schemes and Religious posts.
There does not seem to be any check on who joins the group or what their relationship to horology is...
One group listed as NAWCC member s and friends has had postings that are just nasty...with videos of animals in sexual positions...several members have quit because of this...the group has not not thrown out those who post these and many are fed up with the group.. When you look who is posting...
Not any more...I used to collect S/T Regulators so I knew Martha Smallwood....Leslie in San Diego....Now I almost only collect Chelsea....I have a S/T Lincoln that needs a dial repaint but it has had a repasted paper dial over it....I have never had a Chelsea dial repainted...all have been fine...
Bruce,
Thanks....I talked to Ben B in October....I can't remember now, but I got the feeling that he was not interested...or that he could do the resilvering and painting but the price would be more than I would want to invest....Or both....I remember that I had to call him...no email....
Bruce Linde,
Thanks, but I know someone who could resilver. I need someone who could paint the numerals back on the dial. I asked a dial painter some time ago, but the dial was too small for her to take on. I also am fairly sure that the numerals are not engraved.
You could look for a copy of Chelsea Clock Company ---The First Hundred Years by Andrew Demeter
It has a section on serial numbers, shows the last year that run was made and the type of movement it is.
I have a small Chelsea silvered dial with painted numerals, needing help. The chapter ring measures 2 5/8". At some point it was repainted by James West (deceased now.) Evidently the owner prior to me sprayed varnish on the dial and it yellowed. When the previous owner tried cleaning the...
I am looking for an original painted dial for a Seth Thomas "Lincoln". "Garfield". or "Flora." If none are available I would be interested in a suitable repaint, or repaintable dial.
I do not need the wooden surround.
Hello...late to the game but I am "Inbeat" on the board and Jim in real life. I have been a member of the board since 2000, interested in antique clocks sine 1978 and a member of NAWCC since 1981. My uncle was a clock collector and I entered the hobby through him. My initial interest was in...
I see what you are talking about now...oops.....In looking at three different models of Chelsea clocks that I own with "special hands" and "special dials", they all differ from your earlier Mahogany and Metal and look identical to your second clock. My earliest "special" hands and dial combo is...
