| the box |
I saw this on eBay, and I couldn't resist. The auction was a box lot of Victorian era small clocks. I talked it over with Jerry and we decided to go ahead and try to get the lot.. and I did! woot! In the pictures I could count for sure 21 full movements ( the guts of the clock) and possibly more. It turns out there are 30 full movements, 1 incomplete, an handful of extra keys winders, faces and casing bits. In short, we got such a deal!! and I love that I can actually date at least some of these. So far all are over 100 years old. I love being able to tell my customer more about where the pieces come from.
The Victorian era aprox runs 1837 to 1901 (1902?? ) . so far none of the clocks I can date are younger than 1907, so that's pretty much ball park to my mind.
I look at these clocks and watch my husband take them apart, and I"m just bouncing off the walls with jewelry ideas!!

| one of the "big" clocks. it's almost 3 inches deep. it's not quite 2 inches diameter |

| this one is quite the surprise, it looks more like a giant pocket watch than a clock!! yummy! |
