^great fits! thanks so much for posting, and I'm so pleased these have worked out- you've got a lovely collection coming together!
Here's a little project I've been putting together over the last couple of months. It's a display-style clock for GSTP, made from a Smith's clock which had a broken electric movement and a very rusty dial and hands, but a lovely intact bakelite case and glass. Here it is reborn:
the dial and hands were both hand painted by the canal boat painter who does wallets and belts for the Trestle Shop, as well as some graphics for prints a few years ago. Both were painted on the back of the original, so nothing's been taken away- I could flip over the dial and hands and they'd be as Smith's intended!
The stepped bakelite case is really lovely:
The movement I had which would fit the hours hand wasn't right for the minutes. I may drill out the minutes hand at some point, but for now I'm using it as a one-hander. I rather like how it makes it look like a scientific instrument, or perhaps a regulator clock, while at the same time being more relaxing to look at than a two-hander clock.
William, that GS/TP wall clock is stunning! Is that something that will be available for purchase in the future?
Wanted to share something a little different... my Tender mug collection. Have a special patina on one of them that I dropped and cracked. I was about to throw it away when my wife told me I could cook it in milk and seal it up. It's been going strong for a year now with daily use! Any other colors planned, WIlliam? Would love to see one in carrot or red wattle.
