I can find faults with all of them. Never use a re-bushing tool. The chap re-busing a carriage clock. If you use the reamer correctly it will self-centre in the hole, all this hold it like this and push it the other side is rubbish. If you use very large reamers as he showed you, a little lube such as oil and you will always have a perfectly round hole. Never bush from the outside, always from inside the plate. When you need to tap the bush in place put it on a block and with the correct size flat punch tap it in, the way he showed, you could miss and hit the plate causing a mark and as it’s a carriage clock and the movement is visible it will always be seen. The customer will not be happy, you have de-valued the clock. I never liked pre made bushings. I preferred to make my own by measuring the plate, pivot and oil well, making it, I knew it would fit properly and would not be seen. A movement that is visible and re-bushed correctly, you should never be able to see the work.

Sometimes an ultraviolet light can help. I would use one on Loncase Clock dials, always worked for me.

This being a family friendly forum..I concluded you were talking about tires.

I just received one of these that belongs to my stepfather that I'm about to tear down and try to get running. I can get back with measurements when I can (won't be very soon I'm afraid, a few weeks maybe until I get to it). Meantime here is a place to start: http://www.ofrei.com/page323.html Also, a quick search just came up with this: http://www.darlor-watch.com/wrist_watches_1.html Might be worth giving them a call.

Akron ?

The raised lettering in the dial font numbers is somewhat similar to this example too, not that this proves much.

If I were to take a completely uninformed guess, I would go for Tiffany & Co, in a similar style to the image below, but it might be almost anything.

Not much detail there, can you try with better light. I can't think what else would assist, perhaps using a polarising filter, or taking the image from a low angle to see if there is depth information there. This is the best I can come up with in terms of image manipulation, but there is next to no detail in the original image. More pictures of the rest of the clock might also be a help.

It might be just a case of needing cleaning. The watch movement needs to be removed from the case and the inside of the tube, spring and stem need s cleaning. If the spring is damaged it will need replacing.
