How do I go about selling anniversary clock from the 1940′s for parts. Clock has stopped working?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Where do I advertise? These old parts would be of use because the clock isn’t manufactured anymore.
The best way I found to sell my old clocks either running or not is on eBay. It’s the easiest to do and I almost always sell my items.
Vintage Landau clock, need more info..?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010I just inherited a vintage Landau clock, but I have only been able to find very limited information. I’d like to know more about the maker and possibly the value of the clock. Any suggestions?
The brass ones are highly collectiblle. Probably several hundred dollars. I think they are German.
Will it hurt my antique mantle clock if it’s on the mantle during a fire?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010I have an antique keywound mantle clock, and it’s on the mantle, above the fireplace. Will it hurt the clock if I have a fire in the fireplace with it on the mantle?
Here’s a quick and simple test… next time you build a fire, place a candle where the clock would normally set. If the candle survives the heat intact, your clock should be ok too.
I’d just make one note of caution… the extra heat may cause the wood to dry out, over time. Cleaning the clock with Murphy’s oil soap on a regular basis will help prevent that, as well as prevent a soot build up, heheh. If you only build a fire once in awhile, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Have Fun

What do you think of cuckoo clocks?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010I have one, and it plays music as well. Kind of fun to have but can get on your nerves sometimes. It also makes my budgie jump when it plays lol
The ticking is a relaxing sound though when no music or tv on.
Hello,
I like them and they really fascinated me as a child. I admired the genius, imagination and mechanics that went into each one.
Cheers,

I have an antique mantle clock with a loose hour hand which sometimes unexpectedly drops. How can I fix this?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010The hour hand usually drops at about the 2 or 3 o’clock position. It’s usually o.k. until I try to wind the clock. Then the little vibrations, or whatever, will cause the hand to drop, sometimes all the way down to the 6! If anyone has any knowledge of this sort of thing, I certainly would appreciate some pointers.
Usually the hands are either held by a threaded knob in the center, or more likely just by friction. In the second case, remove the hands by gently pulling them towards the front. You will notice each has a different diameter sleeve which fits over a shaft for that hand (concentric shafts). Squeeze the sleeve gently with fingers or a pair of pliers so that it grips the shaft a little more tightly. Then replace the hands.
