Here is an "English Tallcase clock" I purchased in Canada at auction. I was told the clock was originally from Quebec. The dial has a plaquard stating "Desurmeau 1710". The only black tallcase clocks in the books are from 1690-1710 and look very similiar to this. So maybe the plaquard and clock do go together. It now has a 30hr "continuous chain" time and strike movement that is typical of English mid 18th century clocks. I know a painted dial is not right for 1710, but it came with the clock and looks good with it so it will have to do for now.
This is my Morbier Clock. The only restoration done to this was to replace the lower glass.
Here is a Mission Oak "Grandfather Clock" from about 1910 -1930. This was a garage sale find that my wife found and then gave to me for Christmas. Case needed alot of cleaning and the movement was repaired. Other than that I needed to make the pulley so the weight could be compounded.
A Self Winding Clock Co. The Case was given to me by a co-worker. I then purchased a movement from Lindy Larson for it. The power supply has been modified to be able to plug the clock in.

Well, This isn't exactly a restoration of some really rare clock. But it does look pretty neat I think. This is a birthday present for my teenage son. If you have teenagers you might have noticed how black + white checkers patterns are really in right now. So my wife thought this idea up. It is a newer clock from a resale shop that we painted white, added the checkers, and did the dial black. Hope he likes it.
