    Here is a wooden movement 178 year old wall clock I picked up a couple weeks ago made in Reading, Massachusetts. When I purchased the clock, the movement was missing the pendulum and the verge/crutch assembly was broken. Also, one of the teeth on one of the gears had broke, and another piece was missing an entire section. I took the whole movement apart, hand mortised in and filed a new gear tooth to replace the broken one, hand carved a new locking piece for one of the other gears, (not pictured ), replaced the strings, bought a new verge and suspension spring, and replaced the mounting nails which hold the movement to the the case. I was having a rough time getting this clock to work, and I figured out one of the levers on the strike side of the movement had been bent the complete wrong direction! Judging by the look of how badly bent it was, I don’t think this movement worked for a long time! The clock is now ticking happily on our front hallway in our 1925 center staircase colonial. It plays a very loud bell on the hour, no sound on the half our.
