I have a Hermle skeleton wall clock that I got brand new for Christmas in 2016. It isn't really a lantern clock, but I call it a lantern clock because to me, it looks like one. I love it a lot.

I have a John Ebsworth double fusee converted lantern clock, It seems to be the only one I have seen that winds up from the back, so no winding holes in the dial.

That's much better than front wind so that the dial isn't spoiled as well.

How common is/was it for Lantern Clock bells to be made from Copper or Bronze? I understand that it is a French thing?!0

Not common at All Mike C as it was very expensive. 'Bell metal' is a mixture of pewter and tin.

I have a lantern clock left to me by my father. There is a label that was tied to do the back which said "Richard Stretch -recorded as working in Bristol C1750. The case is from that period movement replaced with French drum type C 1900" This statement means nothing to me and wondered if anyone could throw any light on it. Also how and where I get this cleaned.

Hi Diana. What it means is that the original clockmaker who made the clock in 1750 was Richard Stretch. The movement (workings of the clock) was replaced in 1900 for a more modern type that would run for 8 days so that it didn't have to be wound every day. I hope that makes more sense to you. We can service and clean this for you. Regards Mark

@@MarkTaylorTheMasterClockmaker Thank you for your reply. I live in Christchurch so am local and did make an enquiry some weeks back but was understood that there was a 2 year waiting list. I did have the clock cleaned about 9 years ago but obviously it needs to be redone. I wonder if you could tell me if you are able to service and bush clean the clock as before and perhaps how much this would be?

@@dianasmith5245 We still have a considerable waiting time. We can't give you any idea of cost without inspecting the clock first I'm afraid. Please bring the clock in to us and we will let you know what needs doing and the costs involved.
