Do you know what year that clock was made? Or have a ballpark? I would love to have an idea of how old my clock is.

Make sure that the top of the flat spring is in the brass post with a thin slot in it at the top rear of the movement. Sometimes it can fall out when moving the clock. Also make that the rod is near the center (not touching the back or front) of the brass loop near the center rear of the movement.

I decided to bring the clock upstairs. I was extremely careful. Set the clock on the mantle and leveled the clock. Now the pendulum won't work at all. So, I have a clock that will not work. Had the clock serviced last year for maintenance and everything was well. What went wrong? Thanks much for you help! Regards, Tom (Reading, PA} Good Evening,
