2B SATURDAY, MAY 19, 2007 Caring for your clocks We get a lot of ques tions about clock care at Carrie Lynn’s. I recommend that you have your clocks oiled and checked every one to two years and that you con sult with clock repair profes sionals about any questions you may have about antique clocks and time pieces. Mr. Bayles in Ft. Valley is a very good refer ence and I take my personal clocks to him although I am sure there are other clock experts in j, |HB Jillinda Falen Antiques carilynns@alltel.net Middle Georgia. Ask your friends and neighbors where they take their clocks and get good references before giving your antique time piece to someone you aren’t familiar with. Here are sdme gen eral details for takiiig care of antique clocks: Clock Cases: Kteep your clocks dusted. You may want to lightly buff the original Finish for shine. Add very little wax if you feel that the case REALLY needs it. Use a good paste wax or tinted wax. Stay away from sili cone based waxes that will cause build up. Glean the glass faces with a little glass cleaner sprayed oh a soft cloth. Don’t spray it directly on the clock because it can get into places it shouldn’t be! Do not try to clean painted glass or surfaces. You could destroy the fragile paint along with the value of your clock! I know that there are places that a clock needs to be oiled but I would leave that to the professionals unless they show you exact ly what kind of oil to use and where to put it. When clocks begin to run slow, it is usually because they need oiled. Remember to keep your clocks level. An unlevel clock can sometimes not run properly and leveling as it hangs or sits will improve its function. There is also an adjustment you can make on a clock pendulum that will make the clock ran faster or slower. With all the sonic booms we have arotind here, it is easy to have your clocks knocked off level. Be careful not to over wind your clock. You can break the springs and this can be an expensive repair. Most key wind clocks have little directional arrows to show you which way to wind. When you are resetting the time on your clock because it has run down, either wait until it is the right time and restart it or push the hands in clockwise direction, stop ping at each place it chimes and let it go through the chiming cycle. Never push the hands backward, this will mess your clock up real fast. Some electrical vintage clocks are self adjusting and their chimes will Eventually adjust to the right number. There are thousands of types of antique and vintage clocks available tdday, each one precious and interesting. From tall case clocks, to cuck oos, to mantle clocks, there is something for everyone. To learn more about antique clocks and their care and restoration, check out your local library or bookstore. The Smithsonian Institute also has an extensive list of books about clocks and their care'on their Website as well.
