I also took the time to repair one of two wooden works clocks that were damaged during my move in 2010. This one is a Samuel Terry which I had restored several years ago. All the top pieces are new reproduction pieces that were made to replace the missing originals. They were originally glued-down with hide glue, but they snapped off. I still have to finish painting the reverse glass tablet, but otherwise the clock is about 90% complete, including new tin covers, new square weights, an old bob, and a replaced bone escutcheon and key.
More soon.
Your Samuel Terry is much like my E Terry, i lucked out when i bought mine. You sure have a great collection of clocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin. I need to completely re-vamp (or remake) my clock website, re-photograph all my clocks, and even sell/get rid of some of the crappier ones, or ones I no longer enjoy. Sadly the prices for clocks has dropped dramatically in recent years.
