Fruit of Our Labor - a photo on Flickriver

Fruit of Our Labor

            Time out during the restoration of an 1890's Waterbury "English Drop" wall regulator clock. This clock (in the background) originally sold for $6.80 U.S. It's value now is around $500.00 U.S. So far I have cleaned and oiled the movement, re-soldered the hinge of the bezel that holds the glass crystal, replaced nuts and bolts that are more like the originals (someone used newer ones), and gave the inside of the case a good cleaning of accumulated dust. The dial needs some restoration as it's paint became very dry. I brushed on some Medium Mat which took care of the dry paint and the chipping that was a result of this. Next I will need to fill in the areas where the paint is missing and blend the best I can to the rest of the dial... better eat that pear first.
