the ongoing hunt for cool thrift shop clocks has been weak lately but snagged this st vincents find,..its an endura french movement 8 day key wound wall clock,..probably hadnt run in 20 years,..poped the back off,..airgunned out the biggger scarier dust bunnies..hit every spot i could find with some nanolube,..swore at it for about an hour,..wound it with my seth thomas key that luckily fits it,..and on day 2 now,..gonna see if it runs close to 8 days,..its a tiny movement but has a fairly nice look to it,..fancy hands and the glass is perfect,..have to touch uyp the scratches in the wood,..drag is its got such a tiny tick to it you can barely hear it,..running fairly accurate so far,..eh for 8 bucks i got to play for a couple hours,..
the mystery is ,.how old is it?,..
Nice find, I'd have snagged it up to for $8. Love it!
thanks tom,..seems like clock shopping therapy is my main fun heheh,..its kinda growing on me,..gonna annoy the wife anyhow
You can never buy to much time, happy treasure hunting! =)
Hi,
Your clock was probably made between the 1950's and the 1970's.
