GRANDFATHER,s CLOCKS.
Still Used In New England and In De-
mand by Collectors.


''There are more old-fashioncd
clocks around than people would
think" says an Augusta man who
makes a speciality of repairing them.
"Most Of those with the wooden works
are of American make, think. 1t
must have been expensive to import
the clocks with brass movements in
those early days, and the ingenious
YANKEES set to work to make their own
clocks from the wood. Most of them
are made from the apple-tree, and
with only brass scape wheel and iron
wires. They are not so different from
the clocks made nowadays, and they
can be repaired and will really keep
excellent time.
"The principal thing to do in re-
pairing them is to put new teeth in
the wooden wheels where they have
ben worn or broken off. Those are
lovetaied in and then filed into shape,
and the clock is as good as new. Then,
again. the holes in the wooden backs
are worn and brass bushings are put
in.
Most of the old clocks are eight
day clocks, and they are frequently
less trouble to put in order than the
modern clocks. 1t is the pendulum
which regulates the movement of the
clock, and those long, heavy pendu-
lums are less affected by jars than
shorter ones. Being large. particu-
larly those with the grandfather
movement as we call that of the large
clocks, they are more apt to be sta
tionary.
"Most of the clocks brought to inc
are from 50 to 100 years old, though,
unfortunately, they are not dated. !
saw one the other day that was known
to be 800 years old, but that was an
imported clock. Last year I repaired
about forty old clocks.
"There is always a demand In the
market for the old clocks, and | know
that most Of those that are 10 be
found are genuine One would be
more apt TO find the works genuine
than the ease. They may be in good
condition when thu case has been bat
tered and broken to pieces. II would
hardly pay to make new clocks to sell
