<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 285368, member: 25"]You have what looks like a decent late 19th C French Comptoise clock movement in original condition. If it had a pine case it has probably rotted or been eaten by woodworm. You could simply mount it on a bracket shelf. You need a winder and a pendulum. The pendulum is one meter long. Stretched string would not affect time keeping, it only supplies the power of gravity. </p><p>The weights would be about 7 pounds each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good pictures, BTW.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
