  1. Hmmm, Dont know where you draw the line on deco design but check out this site http://www.artdecocollection.com/seatingitemssold.htm It has many pieces similar in design to yours claiming to b...
  2. Your chair is similar to a couple of sets I have,couch and club chair which were made by the Pullman Furniture co. You can see them in my collection. I always figured them to be from the 1930s due to ...
  3. Thanks sugargirl, glad you like it!
  4. Thanks Tom, f.y.i. I'm in the process of restoring a McClintock Loomis street/bank clock from your town. First mounted on the Baker Block building in 1915 moved in 1931 to American National Bank on Ta...
  5. I have one just like yours that is mounted on the steering column of my 1941 Chevrolet pickup. Unfortunately it's mounted to the passenger side so I don't think you can see it in the picture I have po...
  6. Nice! looks to have a New haven dial and I would suppose it's also a New haven Westminster chime movement as they are pinned directly together. Take a look at the New haven Abbey I have posted. regar...
  7. thanks mustangtony, I just now noticed that the close up of the dial is from another Scott 800B we have in our office and not the one shown in the foyer, oops! George
  8. It's a vacuum chamber for use in medical or chemical laboratory's. Lid and base are ground to fit and sealed with high vacuum greese hope this helps. George

  10. it's a Pyrex desiccator
  11. Thank you adirondackantique George
  12. I don't treat my healthy addictions, I feed them. The settings will vary somewhat due to several things such as, outside temp.frequency of opening,condition of unit,door seal and cabinet insulation al...
  13. I love that 1941 ceo. what a ride!!!
  14. Great, we have 3 monitor top refrigerators and love them. Most people don't even realize that these refrigerators are efficient also using 70 watts when running 12 to 15 minutes per hr. To keep it fro...
  15. Very nice, If you need new floor pads are now available on Ebay. George
  16. We have A couple of couches and chairs very similar to your low back chair that were made by the Pullman furniture co. 1920s-30s hope this helps! George
  17. Thanks buick55 & jimborasco for the kind words regards George
  18. Thanks Bruce, I'm always looking to build on my knowledge of these clocks and good information is hard to come by. Too bad there isn't an online registry of remaining clocks. regards George
  19. Thanks wideback1, never taken it to a show, I just use it for running errands in the summer. I used n.o.s. GM war surplus connecting rods, crank and pistons when rebuilding the engine along with othe...
  20. No I've never heard of him, I will need to investigate. The same first name could confuse some. Yes I'm restoring another clock although I haven't worked on it lately as I will need to find an interes...

  24. Bruce, The only reference to numbers made I have yet to find is an old article in the 1917 Minneapolis Golden Jubilee about the company and it's founder. In there it claims to have installations in ov...
  25. They do lend themselves to small towns and/or private ownership. Using the original master clock to run it requires someone that has a good overall workings of the system. OB McClintock used to have s...

  27. Nice tractor is it an H1 or H3? I know a fellow that has one of these?

  29. had to 88 mph is out of the question with this old truck unless you run it off a cliff!
  30. Thanks Bruce, I guess I'm just nit picking it does look nice. I suspect the finish is either shellac or lacquer it's thin and applied well but a trained eye can tell it's not original.
  31. Thanks toolate2, we do enjoy it it's a keeper. George
  32. Just like a boat,Another ones life always looks good with a fresh coat of varnish, But will it hold up to the seasons o(•¿•)o Actually the case has been refinished but not by me. apparently it wa...
  33. It's not in the truck Bruce, it.s between the ears. Isn't that where we all have a flux capacitor? Many just never no how to charge it! George
  34. thanks toolate2, just disassembled the movement cleaned, inspected polished a couple of pivots, pegged the plates and made a new shaft for one of the hammers. It was broken and someone tried to solder...

  39. Thanks Bruce, Yes the article has several illustrations and is much more detailed than my off the fly description. I had to teach myself stained glass to do these panels 156 pieces of glass each panel...
  40. Well where to start, first the clock has 2 movements the upper is a highly modified large Seth Thomas 8 day movement that is at the heart of all functions.. As the clock runs it impulses the outside s...
