You have a very nice collection. How many of these do you keep running? I have Eleven chiming clocks including two cuckoos that I keep running. I try and keep their time kind of staggered. Otherwise it gets pretty loud every 15 mins or so...
I keep only three running all the time and stagger the rest for the same reason....it would drive me nuts with all the dinging and donging....I will post the rest of my clocks later on .... I am a new member and this is a great site...
I have a clock like this gilbert. It has label on back No.3022 and Gilbert trademark. It is a coca cola advertisement with "drink coca cola" painted on face and "In bottles 5 cents"on glass over regulator. It hung in my family's farm mercantile store, L J BAKER CO that carried from nuts and bolts to overalls to molasses pumped from a 55 gal. wood drum. Everything the farm labor needed to live in Palmyra, NC (Halifax county). any idea the value
I have a Gilbert regulator wall clock like this with STANDARD printed on the glass, and 31 days on the face, roman numeral numbers, and a red half moon on the hands, just inherited it from grandfather. Anyone else seen one like this? Everything looks to be original, but seems to be wound too tight. Any comments to my Email would be appreciated.
Everett and Charles, That is what his site is about but you need to take a couple of pics and post your item, it's not hard, there a lot of help on here if you do your own work too.
I just inherited a Gilbert clock, # 3022 on the back. It hung in my grandparents 'saloon' they operated in Tellico Plains, TN. The story my Dad told is that the original clock had a beer logo on the glass, but when my Granddad died, my Grandmother removed it as she was never crazy about running a saloon anyway. Any idea of its value. It still runs......
