<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 288022, member: 25&quot;]The moon phase dial shows the phases of the moon if set properly. This was a feature of 18th C clockes when knowing the state of the moon meant you could go somewhere at night with the aid of the great sky lantern. Anybody who has been out in the country walking on a moonless, overcast night will appreciate just how really dark it can be.It would be an 8 day clock.</p><p>Typical 18th C style clock from about 1970. No horological interest, it is strictly a decor item.</p><p>It has what is called a floating balance instead of a pendulum. Similar clocks would have been branded by many makers.</p><p>Manufacturing standards were lower than pre-war clocks, repairers dread these&nbsp; as they are a PITA to repair due to worn pivots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
