What are the origins of paper or clocks as first anniversary gifts?

February 4th, 2010

Hopefully someone knows the answer. I can’t find it!

1st Wedding Anniversary – Paper
Traditionally the theme is paper which is supposed to symbolize the strength obtained from the interlocking fibres. The modern take on this is a clock for reasons to do with timeless, eternal love. The precious metals/gemstones associated with the first wedding anniversary are gold jewellery, pearls or peridot. The associated colour is gold or yellow and the relevant flower is the orange blossom or pansy.

Does anyone know where I could locate a vintage (or replica) thermometer that went on a vintage wall clock?

February 4th, 2010

I have an 1880s walnut Seth Thomas wall clock that had a thermometer as part of the crown decoration. The old bubble leveler is still on the clock, but the thermometer is long gone. The plalcement of the thermometer would be part of the complete restoration of the old clock.

Ebay has all things. If you can’t find it right off then keep trying. Right now there are 503 items under Seth thomas clocks. I didn’t even go into thermometers. good luck

I have a mantle clock that chimes. How can I set the time to match the same amount of dings?

February 4th, 2010

It’s like six dings at eleven o’clock. I can set it to six o’clock to match but then it isn’t six o’clock. Must I unplug it and wait? What should I do?

Try stopping it when it dings. But be sure to count the dings. Then start it back up when the dings will be right. Like if if dings 6 times stop the clock and then start it back up at 6 o’clock. Hope this helps

Can anyone recommend a projection alarm clock?

February 4th, 2010

I have purchased two different models of projection alarm clocks and both had the digital numbers break up. Has anyone tried the Avon Spa Finder model? or can anyone recommend a good model?

I’ve been using a Timex Projection Clock Radio for a couple of months and like it a lot.
