Antique Wall Clock
Traditional wall clocks came with a pendulum and were required to be wound with a key, as they were mechanical clocks. They are a larger and heavier than many other styles of wall clocks, so care should be taken then fixing the pivot on which the clock will be hung to prevent the weight of the clock from bringing it down. Almost all antique wall clocks are collector's items in today's world. Who could forget the dancing Elvis Presley clock, Marilyn Monroe, or the moving eyes of Felix the Cat? Where to get an antique wall clock? Atlanta Antique Gallery is probably the best place to pick up an antique clock to add that finishing touch to an elegant home.

One way you can tell this is an original Gilbert dial is by the screw tabs that support it. The door covers them up when it is closed, but readily visible when it is open. Large American weight-driven regulators are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and rising significantly in price each year.

The weight regulators are difficult to come by these days.
