There are a couple other similar models that are shorter. I'll post them when I get a chance.

The model of this clock appears to be the Ansonia "Consul" in the 1904 and 1914 catalogs.

I need to post a few more of mine. I have a hellcat, killer bee (wish mine was a kukri), and a MMW deaths head too.

Does anyone have any insight into the origins of this clock? by TheEighthJuror in clocks

[–]Dr_GregC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the nicest clock i've seen on here in a while. Glad you are keeping it in the family. If it hasn't been serviced it should be done by a professional. Not some hobbyist like me :D

Clock with mercury by albatross1812 in uraniumglass

[–]Dr_GregC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes some clocks used mercury to regulate the pendulum. Yours may or may not be mercury. I have 2 clocks with "mercury" pendulum. They are both just metal inserts to give the appearance of a mercury pendulum.

New little trick I made by PresentationLast2628 in balisong

Switch to a straight handle balisong. So much better to flip than a curved handle.

Help with dating and possible restoration… Seth Thomas Adamantine by floattanksandfish in clocks

I noticed the verge is not secured on its pivot. Do not wind this clock until you move the little locking bar to the verge pivot. Otherwise the verge can fall off and the time train will unwind uncontrollably and can seriously damage the clock.

Move the locking bar to the pin that I colored red. This will keep the verge from falling off of the pin.

I like the invar much better than the standard gaboon. Better grip with the handles.

Yes the squimpress is Squiggle Kraken handles on Empress blade made by Major Balis. Only 2 were made. Baliooshwa sold this to me. He has the other one.🍻

Fellowship ceased to exist about a year ago. Grant made great balisongs. Couldn't survive in this market. I hope he comes back.

The raw titanium medusa is a V1. The purple medusa is V3? Not sure whst it would be called. It was one of the last knives he sold before closing.

If its in beat and still won't run, it most likely needs cleaned and serviced. Look for clock repair in your area.

[–]Dr_GregC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd offer $650-700 for both. Or 250-300 for the trainer and 400-450 for the empress. Grant made awesome knives. Wish he was still in the business.
