Please Note;
Many of these clocks are close to 100 years old if not older. Many have been altered or damaged over the years. I make repairs as needed to bring these old clocks back to their original beauty.
I will replace a dial only if it needs it and most do. I replace dials with copies of the original dial. I have collected dials over the years and I reproduce my own dials with their names and logos as they were originally produced.
I do clean the clock cases and take them apart. Some have minor damage from the years and others need some major repairs. I use the original finish if possible and match the original if necessary. Many of these clocks have small dents or flaws from when they were made or have been damaged at some time over the years. I repair these damaged spots and don’t just paint over them.
Some of my clock cabinets have not been restored. When I come across ones that have been taken care of over the years, I will only restore the movement and dial as necessary and clean / polish the cabinets.
The engravings of the black clocks are restored by hand. This is time consuming and takes patience. I do this myself and find it really adds to the beauty of these clocks.
My restorations include the cabinet, dial, movement, ornaments, painted or natural wood finish, engravings, case insides, and re-assembly as needed for a solid clock.
Movements have been disassembled, cleaned, repairs made, reassembled, and tested.
I want you to be happy with your clock. If you have any problems with a purchased clock, let me know. I will be happy to take it back or help you find the problem. I supply my contact info with purchase if you need to contact me. Thanks!!
