Is there a difference between a long case movement and say a mantel clock movement? If so, how does one tell the difference between the two movements.
Also, I have two (2) Gilbert Columbia clocks. I suspect one of the two is a reproduction. Each clock has a different gong base. How can one determine what type of gong base was in the original (not reproduction) case? One gong base is aluminum and round shaped liked a miniature hockey puck whereas, the other gong base is iron and black commonly found in many clocks.
I thank you for your anticipated reply’s.
