Hi,
Before leaving the UK last week as well as doing a bit of track work on the layout I did a little bit of work on a possible future project. I have been retired 13 years and thought I had no unknown horological items left; but in a decomposing plastic bag on a book shelf in my den a clock was found. I have no memories of it! The item in question is a good quality German 8 day striking pendulum clock; for the technical it has a rack strike and a dead-beat escapement with vernier regulator, at a guess made around 1900 or not long after.
I have too many other projects on the go at the moment to make a start on doing something with it; but thoughts would be using the movement as a sort of open case skeleton type clock possibly using charity shop purchases to fill it out a bit. To this end I have removed the centre of its dial to show the striking mechanism working and it is now back in a new plastic bag on the shelf.
