Large lot of Old Clock Parts ID Help!

Recommended Posts

Someone gave me a bunch of clock parts for free that they were about to throw out. Knowing some of the history and value these might have I took them all! :) 

All of these parts and pieces seem to be broken in some way. There seems to be some really old parts in here. I was wondering if anyone on the forum could help ID some of the better, more valuable pieces and parts? I know some of these are worth keeping or selling, but I do not have much of a knowledge of vintage/antique clocks. 

(BTW please forgive the blurry pictures, my cell phone camera is dying and I discovered it while taking these photos)

It's like Christmas!  Well, right away I spotted the Seth and the Waterburys.  I will take a closer look in a bit.  The real clock experts haven't spotted this yet.  I'm going to see what they say.  But you seem to have some interesting ones here.

The first picture looks to be mostly American movements. I can also see in other pictures German movements. My advise is, if you intend to repair clocks don't throw anything away, you never know when you might need to look through what spares you have for a part or even a screw.

Or a winding key, or hands, or pendulum suspension steel, or...you get the idea.

DANGER: pastimes make a pack rat out of you!
