Jewelers Pinwheel Regulator

[StoveBolt]

Just picked up this Waterbury #7. I posted it with questions in the clock repair section but thought I would post it here too. Ready to hang up after waxing the case then waiting for a friend (clock guy) to clean/oil up the movement.

So the pictures are on my dining room table.

Love these large Waterbury regulators, I have a #7 with a mercury pendulum -it is the clock pictured in Tran Duy Ly's Waterbury book.

Sound like yours is famous Jack and will go down in history, we are lucky guys.

I'm ready to sell the rest of my clocks, this is the only one I need.

That is a gorgeous clock! I love the bright, warm finish beyond the obvious appeal of the elegant imposing case, regal pendulum and dial. Wish I had a clock like that!

What kind of wax do you use to give it that sheen?

 

[StoveBolt]

Good old Johnson's paste wax, a paint brush to get it in the all crevices and a shoe brush from my old army days to help with the polishing.

and thanks for the compliment Friendofclocks.
