Antique HEART SHAPED Porcelain BOX, ROSES & TASSELS 3-D-$43

Even after all these years Iā€™m surprised when I find something this nice and this old just tossed in an old cardboard box full of nothing nicer than a padlock. But there it was ā€“ unharmed ā€“ among all the bits and pieces of nothing.

Authentic WAG ON THE WALL Antique CLOCK - Estate Find-$76

Once we start looking at pictures of this clock youā€™ll soon realize itā€™s not been touched in years. The problem is, what I know about old clocks could be written on the head of a pin, and thereā€™d still be room for those angels to square dance ā€“ or whatever kind of dance they do.

 

The ebonized rim diameter is 9 Ā¾ā€, and the diameter of the reverse painted, or at least partially reverse painted, dial (with crack) is 6ā€. Each of the 7ā€ long by 1 1/8ā€ in diameter weights weighs almost exactly 2 lbs.

 

Itā€™s a beautifully shape wood rim. I kinda wish it was a picture frame. At least Iā€™d know something about it.

 

The hands are obviously original, but thereā€™s that darned crack.

 

One of the sides was loose, so I took it off so you could see the guts.

 

The old ladyā€™s family came over from Germany many, many years ago. Maybe that helps.

 

If you need some estate dust, there ya go. (We used to call it ā€œDOA.ā€ Dust of the Ages.)

 

There is one more thing I think I know for sure, probably.

 

The pendulum is homemade. Wouldnā€™t you think so?

 


It has a chime, but I canā€™t get the clock to do anything except tick like a raving maniac on crank when I remove the pendulum.

And one more thing: Each of the two chains is 68ā€ long. Whew! Thatā€™s 5 Ā½ feet!
