<p>[QUOTE="coinman123, post: 441622, member: 9402"]Thanks for the great information, its great to hear from an expert about my clock. The lead ring confused me until now, as I had never seen a clock with it, now it makes sense why this clock has it. The clock came with two 10 pound weights, probably iron, and they both look different, and are probably not original. What size weight would this clock originally have came with, is 10 pounds good? I will make sure to fix the striking as soon as I get the chance, as it still is off by an hour two. The face almost surely says Halsham, though I couldn't find a single clock maker by that name there, I even emailed the historical society there and they searched for a Benjamin Goldsmith living there from the 1500's until now and couldn't find one. Perhaps they mean't to write Hailsham? Thanks again for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
