I found this clock at a flea market. It was made by E. Ingraham Co. Bristol, Conn.
I'm guessing it is from the 30's. I like the unusual numerals.

Our first 119 shot, so hopefully have got the naming and tagging correct - we have had a three year gap since 115 in 2015, so please tick us off gently if we have done something wrong!

The "restoration" story of this historic city clock is kinda funny...
From the Eagle Tribune - April 18, 2017:
HAVERHILL — Repairing the old downtown clock was as simple as plugging it back in.
The clock on the sidewalk in front of the parking deck on Merrimack Street that had stopped working at some point in the recent past is now keeping time again.
City officials say it was expected to cost thousands of dollars to repair — but that was before the city electrician found the clock was just unplugged, so to speak.
City Councilor Melinda Barrett, who has been involved in bringing the clock back to life, said the clock's electrical wiring was found to be disconnected in several locations.
"It was repaired, tested and is working fine, although it is a little fast," she said Tuesday morning. "A bulb is burned out, but that can be replaced."
A resident of the city has stepped forward with an offer to donate money for the clock's maintenance.
The clock had been stopped at a couple of minutes after 12.

Final version of my binary clock. The original design had the PIC chip controlling the display and doing the timekeeping, however, this was unreliable and the clock gained about a minute a week. This design uses a realtime clock chip and the PIC chips reads the time from it every second over I2C, this has the advantage of being able to use a backup batery to keep the time even when the power is disconnected, although I am not using this feature in this circuit.

Almost 9" in diameter. I came across this in a Dallas "mantiques" store and had to have it. Now it sits on my shop wall. (Please note: That's not my shop wall. You don't want to see my shop wall.)
The Hilltown Clock was made by Beath and Keay, iron founders in 1900.

Yay! My laser cut plastic from Ponoko arrived and like the best ikea flatpack it assembled together and all the parts actually fit!
It's six rectangles with slots in the top and bottom and ridges on the side, front and back walls. It doesn't hold itself together very well if you aren't careful, though a bit of glue would soon fix that. For now I'm leaving it as it is.
The main control PCB goes on the outside back, where you can easily access the buttons to change the time. Power supply is inside on one side wall, and the two nixie driver boards themselves are on the bottom. Amazingly, my laser cut holes line up with the holes in the PCBs and I am able to screw everything into place! Hurrah!
This is my first attempt at making a wooden clock. This clock is known as a Toucan Clock because of the drive levers at the top that look like a toucan’s beak. The clock is driven by an electromagnet in the base that swings the pendulum which then drives the toucan beak back and forth. This action then drives the various gears turning the hands. My first model was made from birch plywood with walnut accents. In front are four of the gears that I have made for my next clock. They are made from a combination of oak, walnut, cherry, maple, and poplar.
