It is truly a beautiful example now. I sent pictures of the clock in the restored condition to Delaney Antique Clocks on the east coast in hopes of selling the clock to them. I was rewarded for my effort by receiving an email from them saying I had "restored the clock to a much higher degree than their customers would purchase". Of course I did not and do not agree with the assessment of the clock. It is a truly rare example of a miniature 30 hour Birge and Mallory gilded ogee clock which I feel a TRUE antique clock collector would LOVE to add into their collection. If anyone out there would like to have pictures of the clock sent to them please reply to 2nuddyboyand2litties@gmail.com with the request for pictures and I will send them promptly. This is truly a rare and extraordinary example of this clock. And by the way - the clock IS for sale currently. Serious offers will be considered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995009067480606492.post-21040855647036243592022-05-25T05:44:23.293-07:002022-05-25T05:44:23.293-07:00JC!

They are meant to be removed and discarded.

It doesn't seem to serve any purpose - I see them on a lot of Ogee clocks.

Hundreds of thousands of these were made, and they were made for about 80 years, so without a photo, I can't really suggest much of a date. The alarm dial in the centre would be to set when you want the alarm to go off. The hour you want the clock to ring would be placed under the hour hand. The last two clocks in the post have these.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995009067480606492.post-52140137134313943972021-07-24T20:08:44.194-07:002021-07-24T20:08:44.194-07:00I was just presented with a family heirloom that i...I was just presented with a family heirloom that it is an Ogee mantle clock. I am not sure it is a miniature as it is 25 inches tall. It has a Seth Thomas movement that still works, with weights. It has an alarm I was told that can wake the neighbors or being the field hands in for a meal, it is that loud. The bottom glass has a picture of a Native American. The miniature that is the last one shown in this post is as close as I can find to what I have. Perhaps you can tell me what the center dial is for with the Roman numerals? Is there a way to date this clock? I am surmising that it was a wedding gift or passed down from their parents. alfadochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173337600118221520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995009067480606492.post-21013352667321419192021-06-20T04:27:16.835-07:002021-06-20T04:27:16.835-07:00Nice work JC!
