I bought this clock at a garage sale for all of $2,00, It is about 18" high and made of brass, darn thing weighs about 5lb. It had a complex electric mechanism. The problem was that the clock was so heavy the people never replaced the battery and it had eroded away much of the mechanism. The pendulum was also missing.

I replace the mechanism with  a chiming electric and the new pendulum would not work. So I bought an anniversary clock revolving pendulum and put a mirror behind it. 

I made the base of this to hold the batteries out of Walnut.   It was extremely hard to hang because the hole for the nail was small and the clock is so darn heavy. I replaced this problem with a larger and easy to use hanger. 

 We are really enjoying this one.

 

Sweet!

My grandfather used to work on clocks. I did not inherit his patience.

Ron,

That's way cool! 

I like it.

I spent many years as an instrument tech and that involved maintaining/repairing many complex mechanical control devises. I enjoy the challenge.

That's a REAL Beautiful clock.

Wow that is one beautiful clock!!
