Don at Quora told us about his beautiful old clocks, he said he’d like to see my little clock.
I love antiques, sometimes I get bargains. Here’s one of them: a late 1800s / early 1900s porcelain clock featuring hand-painted roses. It actually still works. When I wind it up – careful not to over-wind it! – it runs for 2 days. I enjoy listening to the old mechanical tick, tick, tick.
Do you have any old clocks you’d like to share?

Ah, that sounds nice, Wendi. I’ve always loved old clocks. I remember being at a school-friend’s grandmother’s and she had a loud clock that ticked away. I found it very comforting. xo

That is a cute little clock. Porcelain clocks are very much in demand. Ansonia made many models of porcelain clocks. It is actually a 30 hour clock or sometimes called a 1-day clock. If it runs for 2 days the mainspring is strong and has plenty of life.

Thank you Ron for that information, I had no idea of the name or about the strength of my clock’s spring. I knew that the elderly gentleman who had it, used it every day as a bedside clock up until he died, 2-3 years ago – I then bought it for next to nothing! Only because I fell in love with it.

Such a beautiful clock! I have 1930s wood art deco clock that doesn’t work any more that I keep on an old desk.
