Haven't seen you in a very long time! Welcome back! :)
Hard to know what kind of finish is on these clocks but considering their age I think I would just use a damp cloth with dish washing detergent suds to get the dirt off. I definitely won't try to polish them. That's just my opinion based on what I can see in your photos. Nice pair of antique clocks. Thanks for sharing them.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the quick response. I was hoping you would answer. :) Looks like gold leaf over some kind of metal. How are you doing? Happy New Year. Haven't been on due to my husband having a few medical issues in 2015. He's almost back 100% now. This year I'm going to try to down size my collection, it's hard cause I love them all.
Doing fine Misty. Happy to hear that you and your husband are doing well in 2016! Hope you'll be able to find good homes for the clocks you decide to part with. I'm thinking of those rooms with your collection wrapping around the ceiling. You have a lot to go through. :)
