Still no idea how you tell a quality clock from a poor one.

Experience. If this was a top of the range part of the train there pivot holes would be jeweled and the pallets would have pallet stones instead of all steel.

A nice specimen. Not done one for a few years , just lately they have been French clocks the one I am doing now is a brocot escapement on which sone one filed minute wheel cock so that when the movement was tilted forward the hour wheel l dropped forward loosing synchronisation putting the strike all out, why I don’t know but just rebuilt the end to stop it happening.

I would love a long case but my Bungalow is not big enough most of my clocks are year going

Me too. I have too much clutter in my house for a longcase clock. I have a year going and a perpetual clock.
