Seth Thomas hands

[Bob Reichel]

In restoring Seth Thomas, 1818 wood, countwheel movement, I need authentic information on the material and configuration for hands. See: "Eli Terry and Conn. Shelf Clock" by Roberts, page 78 for exact picture of clock type.

Thanks, Bill, but the Email address I have used for Don is no longer any good. I'm also in contact with Snowden Taylor, Chris Bailey and Carter Harris (NAWCC Museum).

Bob,
If you've got a picture of what the hands look like, they take a little bit of time to make, but look good once you're done. I like the homemade versions much better than the storebought.

Maybe I do it the hard way by making them. It relieves stress when I make things. Sometimes real ones come up on ebay, but they sell for a premium.

This clock deserves the most authentic hands available... There are Eli Terry hands sold by supply houses-that may be OK, but I'm skeptical they are of authentic design. I would love to see some evidence to some so-called "original" hands. Do you see where I'm going? I don't know whether the originals are steel or something else.
