CLOCK PHOTO INFORMATION
1) A fine Ithaca perpetual calendar clock which I overhauled for a customer.
2) A Banjo clock, c.1900, made in Providence, RI. Technically a reproduction, because it is a copy of an earlier style,
it is nonetheless an antique in its own right, and a finely-made clock. These banjo clocks are generally Time Only and
often deadbeat escapements, making them quite accurate. I overhauled.
3) The wooden works from an early-to-mid 19th C. Longcase clock. This movement was severely damaged when I
took it in for repair. The front main plate was actually broken in two and poorly reglued. Many other parts were broken
or improperly repaired, and many bearings were badly worn. The clock is now repaired and running fine. Property of
Dr. Warren Perry, who's permission to use these photos is greatly appreciated.
4) The movement and dial of a mid-18th C. fusee Bracket clock by Charles Blanchard of London. In the side view, the
tapered fusee and the drum below it that holds the massive and powerful mainspring can be seen. Courtesy of Dr.
Robert Cotsen.
5) A short drop School clock. These clocks were made for many years before and after the turn of the 20th C. This
one, like most, is a time-only.
6) A Crystal Regulator
7) A French Empire mantle clock. An ornate French style with gilded applied brass decoration, black lacquer finish
and porcelain dial. Time-and -strike. Courtesy Horton's Antique Clocks.
