I'm wanting to know more about this clock, if anything is to be known. This clock seems more intricate than other Walesby of Horncastle clocks I have found. May have been special made. Supposedly circa 1880, I found it at an antique shop in England. Had it appraised there and estimated 10,000...

Does anyone know the background of this grandfather clock? It works by the brass weights and pendulum. My parents bought it when we lived in Germany in 1969. It has a symbol on the face. I'd like to know it's history and possibly it's value. And anything else if someone knows about it...

Hey all! While going through some old family belongs I came across this pocket watch and from researching online cannot figure out what watch it is. I’ve found almost identical ones from different brands so this one strucks me as really weird. If you look at the pictures it says IWC on the...

I know my clock basics, but watches, not so much. I collect many things, and buy what catches my eye. I'm hoping the vastly more knowledgeable people here know more about this. A local coin shop a friend goes to had a bunch of watches, and I took a look. This is by far my favorite. Case...

My Grandpa picked up this clock from Heidelberg, Germany in 1978. The German citizen he traded it with told him it was an antique. They couldn’t get Marlboro cigarettes in Germany and they were issued in my grandpas Army bag. He traded a couple cartons of cigarettes for it. I tried doing my own...

I have the chance to purchase this watch from a relative, but niether of us knows what the value may be. This watch is in non working condition, missing the chain, and hands. Also several gears are loose, and maybe one or two are missing. I believe there still has to be some base value to this...

I picked up an old Mauthe GF clock, and it is in serious need of cleaning. However, part of the charm is that it just "looks" old. For those of you that have cleaned one or more old clocks in the past, did you try to make it look shiny and new, or did you keep the old look and clean, polish...

As many others were led here, I too have a family heirloom that I’d like to try and find out a bit more on. I’ve been enjoying reading through the posts and the well cultivated encyclopedia and learning what I can, but I’d certainly appreciate any insight members might have to illuminate the...

Greetings folks, New here. I am a bird automaton person-- so clocks are not my forte! I bought an antique Tiffany Never wind with glass dome a few years ago at auction. It looks like the earliest version, has the very heavy brass ball weights that hang from a wire. Well, took it to a local clock...

Ive had this clock for a while now and decided I wanted to find out more about it. I was able to trace the serial number on the movement to March of 1905. Unfortunately, the instructions on the back are in taters, namely the area denoting the model. It looks very similar to the "Rose" model and...

I recently purchased this mantel clock and would love to learn about it. The patent number is 2. No damage other than the two small chips on the clock face. I know the company operated from 1885-1905, but what is unique is that the American flag only features 20 stars, which only existed...

Just thought I'd share a few new additions to the hoard... I mean collection. I apologize in advance for the dust and terrible photography.
