John D. asked:


I am restoring a vintage Seth Thomas split-column clock. I can’t afford using a museum restoration expert. Any suggestions?

The 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.

Sir William oh William I am asked:


I have an antique clock that has had the innards removed and replaced with a battery-operated gadget. I would like to take it in to have this replaced with something similar to what it originally had. Can this be done? How much would it cost to do this?

I also have a Square “school” from Japan. I have not tried to get it running. It is all there. The ruby ran when I put it into storage about 17 years ago. I have not tried to start it this time. I would like to find out their values.

Sue B asked:

Someone has given me a Seth Thomas 8-day clock and I’m wondering it’s value. It’s a mantel clock, he said it’s in between 1920-1930. Inside the back panel it gives instructions to operate and has the following: Quarter Hour Strike Movement No. 89-L
It’s beautiful and I love the chime sounds!
