There are many parts that will match to my other listings, or to complete your clock's missing parts.

More about us:
I remember as a kid being dragged into my great uncle George Gooseman's clock museum in Colorado Springs under the watchful eye of the grand Pike's Peak Mountain. His building was just off 24 Highway in an out of place blue and white striped metal building. It was close to the flourishing, but now gone, Van Briggle's pottery shop and the "Ghost town" tourist spot. Upon entering the doors, the strange blending aroma of older wood and mechanical parts greeted the nostrils in the same manner as the methodical ticking greeted the ears. As one would walk down the hallway to the main open room, the heartbeat of the building grew more intense. Upon turning the last corner of the walkway to finally meet the source of the sound, the sight was incredible with motion and movement as hundreds of clocks were still telling their story of an era quickly passing in time.... It was that love of the creativity and ingenuity of our American inventors and their products that got me started in collecting and sharing antiques, vintage watches, and marvelous clocks. We are now hoping to share that excitement with you, as you would not be looking at this page unless you had some of those same interests. We are not Clocksmiths or Watchsmiths by trade, so we don't do any repairs or shopwork for people, but we hope that we can unite you with that special item you have been looking for or find that part you have been hunting. We list everything we have at the time and do not have "extra" parts in storage. So check back often if you are looking for something because we are adding additional items to our store almost every week………John>The last numbers or letters in the listing heading are for inventory purposes only and do not have anything to do with the listed item itself.
