Brian, did you make headway with the Hotchkiss clock? I found an identical one today and it's about in the shape that yours was in the photos. It will chime if you move the hand to the top of the hour. The pendulum will stop after about 3-4 minutes. The movement looks early 19th century... Not sure I'll find anyone to service it. I hope yours is keeping time now! John Gordon Huntsville, AL
Happy Birthday Brian D, According to our records today is your birthday. Many Happy Returns of the Day!
