A customer arrived with this clock for
restoration. When asked for the rest of it we were told "this
is all there is". On examination all the customer had was the
two main plates including the front studs, the front plate and
dial, three posts and two fusee stop irons. A guesstimate for the cost of making and replacing all missing parts was given and agreed. The customer also insisted on having a dead beat escapement with maintaining power. This type of clock would normally have had a recoil escapement. What was missing - all the internal workings both strike and going, bell , gong, porch, steps, base, dome, pendulum, hands, etc etc. |
