Amazing! I was gifted a Ridgeway curio clock for my 5th wedding anniversary of Wood, back in 1992, it has never stopped running except when we moved it from Ontario to New Brunswick Canada. It has been the heartbeat of our home. So sad to hear how heirlooms are not the treasures they once were. Our home is a modern living museum with antique heirlooms throughout our home & used daily, fondly remembering who they came from. Those are amazing tall wooden clocks!

Enjoyed this greatly. Always been a fan of grandfather clocks. Benners (Riverbend chairs) in Lebanon Ohio still makes a very good looking clock.

I love old clocks. I don't have this many but I have quite a few and I just can't say no when I see one that needs saving - like some people and stray dogs. My most recent acquisition was a 24 hour tall case German mechanism and dial from the 1790s I rescued from a rickety table at a yard sale right before it started raining. I got it because I already had an early 1800s pine case that someone had put a quartz mechanism in I saved from a thrift store. It fit perfectly! $200 bill from the clockmaker for cleaning and getting me a pendulum and weights for it, $50 for the case, and $30 for the mechanism. I love it!

Amazing!! Here is a what I think is a great idea for such a collection of history. A copy of period original map of good size and on that map the where the clock ended up at marked on that map hanging with all of those Amazing Clocks. If that is even possible.

I’m guessing no clocks were painted unless they were grain painted? At that time frame natural woods were embraced vs paint? Thanks for the amazing tour.

all the softwood cases that we have seen from our region were painted. only one did not have additional decoration applied to the base color; that one was finished with a bittersweet wash. the most common combination was red striping over a black base. cases from the southwest parts of the state were more commonly hardwoods, mostly cherry and curly maple.

What a wonderful source of history!!! As I was watching, I noticed that all of the tall clocks had a tombstone top to the clock face but that the shelf clocks did not have this. Any reason for this? Was it dictated by the shape of the clock works?

in the early 18th century, dials were generally square. the arched top, called a lunette, came along with the introduction of the moon dial which added a disc with two moons painted opposite one another. the disc rotated once every two lunar cycles with the moon appearing as a crescent on the left side, rising to a full moon and then disappearing on the right. the next day, the second moon painting appears on the right. in a world without artificial light, knowing the nighttime illumination from the moon was vital. the inclusion of the lunette on the wood movement was purely an attempt to mimic the expensive brass movement clock. in shelf clocks, there was no need to imitate the older brass clocks.

@@dianeklingemier3325 Thank you for taking the time for such a thorough history lesson. Most interesting since the only term that I had for the top shape was tombstone!!! At 82 I am proof that you learn something new everyday.
