While the wife and me were going to arrange our new chill out place, I stumbled across these clocks. The wall clock was stored for more than 20 yrs in the basement and the other two mantel clocks I got from the flea market.
First of all we wanted one of those mantel clocks standing on the shelf in the chill out area, but then I saw another one for a good price. And then the wife asked if it was possible to get the wall clock (from her grandpa) to work. :poke: :yes:

All the Best & thanks for watching. :cool:

The mantle clock is awsome. I love the lines of the old looks when craftmanship mattered.

We have 6 antique clocks in our home and we really like the look they give to a room. Congrats on your purchases, I'm sure you will enjoy them for many years to come.

I like the old grandfather clocks but I don't have room in the house for one,,I like your wall clock the best.

Thank you all for your kind words.

I love these chiming clocks and the bells all half and full hour. May be it is like stan said when craftsmanship mattered.
Yes, JTGOLD, our daughter likes this one a lot, too. And she asked for it... so I'll mount it to her living room this weekend. lol
Oh, aloldstuff, I'm working on this... :beerbuddy: lol

@Jim - Hmm... :thinkingabout: have you ever asked her why?? :grin:

@Dan - Great, and it's still working. Is this one adjustable if the beat is not correct? The two here are floating balance clocks, and you can adjust them very easy. Thanks for the pics. :beerbuddy:
