One man’s ambivalent retreat from his racist past

ROCK HILL, S.C. Elwin Hope Wilson leans back in his recliner, a sad, sickly man haunted by time.

Antique clocks, at least a hundred of them, fill his neat ranch home on Tillman Street. Grandfather clocks, mantel clocks, cuckoos and Westministers, all ticking, chiming and clanging in an hourly cacophony that measures the passing days.

Why clocks? his wife Judy has often asked during their 49 years together.

He shrugs and offers no answer.

You’re old and degrepid and there is no remorse in this man.

Clocks and Candle Holders – any ideas? ?

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:33:52 +0000

I’m in the middle of re-decorating at the minute, and i’ve just got the finishing touches to put to our living area – i am looking firstly for a clock, a mantle clock but not one of the old-fashioned ones, something much more modern and really different but can’t seem to find anything that suits. The same applies to the candles holders, just need a pair, got some really lovely candles whilst on holiday and haven’t yet found candle holders to suit. Can any of you suggest some good websites or shops that maybe i haven’t thought of?

The Museum of Modern Art online store has a variety of contemporary accessories.

Do you like the contemporary "Ghost Clock" by Yee-Ling Wan?

There is also a link to some candleholders you may like. Not to perpetuate a "ghost" theme or anything, but I’m fond of the "ghost candelabra".

Please Help. My Antique Gilbert mantle clock runs way too fast! When first wound, it can gain 8 or 9 mins. in?

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:09:42 +0000

24 hours. I have lowered the pendulum and increased the weight by 5 grams. I recently bought it and it seems in good mechanical order and appears to have an original Gilbert pendulum weight. Does anyone have a suggestion. I have never encountered this and I have had many old clocks before. THANK YOU, JIM

Is it an 8 day clock? they usually are.
After the first day does it settle down and work better?
Does it work for a full week or just 3 or 4 days?

Check the clock is level and the ticks are even. if it goes
tick, tock, pause, tick, tock, pause
then tilt the clock until it goes
tick, pause, tock, pause, tick , pause, tock
and try it again.

If the mainspring is old then when fully wound the force on the wheels would be correct and then over the next few days the force will drop off very quickly. A clock repairer could have done a botch job on it rather than pay for a new one.

most likely causes are
Wrong mainspring!
The pallets havent been adjusted properly or they are worn.
There is play between the leader and the pendulum allowing the pallets to skip
Play on the wheels or worn pivot holes

the gear ratios are highly unlikely to be wrong as changing wheels for different ones is harder than mending it properly in the first place.

I would take it back to the shop you bought it from and get them to look into it for you. Make a list of what it is doing exactly
ie. first day +8 min. 2nd day +2 min. 5th day stopped
that might help them.

How can I decorate the mantle over my family room fireplace?

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 20:32:46 +0000

My family room has traditional British hunt scenes and I have a large oil painting centered on the wall over the fireplace. On one side of the mantle, I have 2 antique brass candlesticks and a cherry wood desk clock. I used to have a green plant in an old Limoges flowered pot on the other side, but it died. I would like to do something other than a plant, but it has to be at least 10 inches tall. The mantle is natural oak. Any idea?

How about some dried moss topiaries?

how do i limit a search for a german antique red marble and brass mantle clock with cherubs?

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:34:04 +0000

the best way i found to search for a certian item would be on ask .com if you no the maker it would narrow your search have you tried simply typing german antique clocks and then carrying on from there?
hope his helps
