Jeromes, Gilbert, Grant & Co.

JGGCo1-1

Much has been done to this clock:
1) My wife and I reproduced the glasses following a design from a clock in the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol (turns out the lower glass was not original to the ACWM clock).
2) The dial was from another JGG&Co clock that had a cardboard overpaste that I removed.  I then re-inked most of the dial.  The numerals in the lower right quadrant are mostly original.
3) I re-veneered the base.
4) Finally, I reproduced the lock.
