- Motion stripped down and all brass chemically cleaned on a 3 stage course of.

I did this clock as a result of…it wanted some love and I may see the potential, nevertheless, had it not been for the attractive ruby escapement paddles it may not have made the restoration que!. I’m very glad I put the time in on this one because the picture doesn’t do it justice – its an absolute corker, if considerably heavy.
