Anyone else have this clock? It was made by the New England Clock Co. in Bristol CT probably in the 60s... The dial is a 1/2 inch thick tile with a Currier and Ives like scene on it. It designed to look like a little mill complete with water wheel. There are holes drilled across the bottom for the greenery to fit into securely. I think that this was factory. I've seen several of these in different forms that had this same feature. I also have a nice steeple clock by this same maker. If you check out my other junk you'll see it...

I purchased a steeple clock in an antique store in Ohio. After getting it home, I discovered that it needed a new main spring. It was made by The New England Clock Co., in Bristol, Ct.. It's numbered 2126. It has pink & green flowers on the dial and the wood looks like maple. Can you help me out, please?

Theres one with a rolling pin & a Big cuckoo type one that has a saying on it. All I remember it starts out with "HARK" It's been packed away for years. I think they are nice clocks.
I think these New England Clock Co clocks are under appreciated. Here's a great link to read more about them:
